copied!<p>Most of the jQuery Ajax methods return an XMLHttpRequest (or the equivalent) object, so you can just use <code>abort()</code>.</p> <p>See the documentation:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535920%28VS.85%29.aspx" rel="noreferrer">abort Method</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Developer_Network" rel="noreferrer">MSDN</a>). Cancels the current HTTP request.</li> <li><a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/abort" rel="noreferrer">abort()</a> (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Developer_Network" rel="noreferrer">MDN</a>). If the request has been sent already, this method will abort the request.</li> </ul> <pre><code>var xhr = $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "some.php", data: "name=John&location=Boston", success: function(msg){ alert( "Data Saved: " + msg ); } }); //kill the request xhr.abort() </code></pre> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> As of jQuery 1.5 the returned object is a wrapper for the native XMLHttpRequest object called jqXHR. This object appears to expose all of the native properties and methods so the above example still works. See <em><a href="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/#jqXHR" rel="noreferrer">The jqXHR Object</a></em> (jQuery API documentation).</p> <p><strong>UPDATE 2:</strong> As of jQuery 3, the ajax method now returns a promise with extra methods (like abort), so the above code still works, though the object being returned is not an <code>xhr</code> any more. See the <a href="http://blog.jquery.com/2016/01/14/jquery-3-0-beta-released/" rel="noreferrer">3.0 blog here</a>. </p> <p><strong>UPDATE 3</strong>: <code>xhr.abort()</code> still works on jQuery 3.x. Don't assume the <em>update 2</em> is correct. <a href="https://github.com/jquery/jquery/issues/2084#issuecomment-308173243" rel="noreferrer">More info on jQuery Github repository</a>.</p>
