title: Does IE6 support XMLHttpRequest.abort()?
body: <p>Am I correct to understand that the abort() method for XMLHttpRequest objects is only available starting from MSIE 7? If so, what equivalent option do I have for aborting an XMLHttpRequest object on timeout in MSIE 6?</p>
  
  <p>Using a JS framework to abstract the problem away is not an option at this time I'm afraid :(. I'm on a legacy system that's close to a production deadline.</p>
