Ah. The "Last Stable Release" is the correct set f docs if you're using
2.7, but we don't typically worry about doing new releases specifically
for documentation. As a result, as we improve our documentation -- and
make more documentatin available -- we typically see it taking affect on
trunk (which is the URL I gave) immediately, with a delayed following on
in the next release of the software.

In this case, loadURL was always documented, but not in the API Docs,
only for developers:

 http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.7/doc/devdocs/files/OpenLayers/Ajax-js.html

But we recently changed that in trunk.

So, nothing you were doing was wrong, but our dcumentation was
insufficient in this case -- but using the developers dcs if you can't
find something in the API docs is usually a good start.
