title: How to cancel jQuery load
body: <p>My problem here is that my main page loads some slow asp pages into my divs through jQuery:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#content").load("really_slow.asp");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But if I try to go to another page on my site by clicking a link before the ASP page is done, it won't let me go until it's finished loading.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried several ways, but nothing appears to work....
  I tried something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var request = $.ajax({
      type: 'GET',
      url: 'really_slow.asp',
      success: function(result){
          $("#content").html(result);
      }
  });
  
  
  $("a").click(function() { 
      request.abort();
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with no difference...   </p>
