title: backbone.history.loadURL
body: <p>There's no documentation for Backbone.history.loadURL on backbone.js website <a href="http://backbonejs.org/#History-start">http://backbonejs.org/#History-start</a>  Although I have a general idea what result it produces in some applications I've looked at, I'm not exactly sure how it works, in the sense of which url it chooses to load and how it knows to load a certain url over another. Can anyone explain?</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax({
                  url: "json/Backboneapp_data.json",
                  dataType: 'json',
                  data: {},
                  async: false,
                  success: function (data)
                  {
  
                      _this._data = data;
                      _this._items = new ItemCollection(data);
                      _this._view = new MenuView({ model: _this._items });
                      _this._view.render();
                      Backbone.history.loadUrl();
                  }
  
              });
