Object	Description
String	Specifies the URL to be loaded. This URL must meet basic security constraints to be accessed. If the URL cannot be resolved or accessed or does not reference an XML document, this method returns an error and sets the IXMLDOMDocument interface's documentElement property to null.
IIS request object	Reads and parses the data from the request object.

Calling load or loadXML on an existing document immediately discards the content of the document.
