Mike (or others): I've recently upgraded my jQuery core and block UI code to the most recent versions and have noticed something is not working the way it did before. I'm using the default settings recommended on your web site to block and unblock the UI:
$().ajaxStart( $.blockUI ).ajaxStop( $.unblockUI ); When I make an ajax call with $.ajax, I assign the XMLHttpRequest object that is returned to a variable so I can call the abort() method on it if the user clicks "cancel" within the block UI dialog I use. For example: var xhr = $.ajax( { url: '/test.htm' } ); While that's loading, I call xhr.abort() to kill the request. That bit still works, but the block UI overlay never goes away. Is this a bug, by-design behavior, something else? I get the same result from Firefox 2.0, IE 6 and IE 7. Thanks for any help you can provide, m.
