This seems like it should just work so I am frustrated with myself that I can't RTFM my way through this. I am failing to get a good response when using either the load or loadXML methods. I have tried to pull in a file that is properly formatted (UTF-8) and a proper fragment. In each case it seems to just hang the script without an error. I have built simple If/Then loops to catch a boolean error. I am getting nothing.

Any ideas of what I could be missing?
