Thanks, Rupak, but I was hoping to be able to accomplish this without a
plugin. What I'm thinking of doing is storing the XMLHttpRequest object as a
local variable early on, like in the beforeSend callback.
var xmlHttpRequest = null;
$.ajax({
/* ... */
beforeSend: function(request)
{
xmlHttpRequest = request;
}
});
$.('button.canel').click(function(event)
{
if (null !== xmlHttpRequest) {
xmlHttpRequest.abort();
xmlHttpRequest = null;
}
event.preventDefault();
});
I am not sure if this would cause any issues with the overall ajax
lifecycle. For example, if the cancel button was clicked, would the "error"
callback be executed? I'll have to test it and see.
