I've got the following jquery code querying my server, but can't figure out how to Abort the query and reload the page immediately if someone clicks on <a> link.

Can anyone show me how to abort the current (all) ajax calls if someone clicks on <a> link????

Thanks,

regan

2. function doPoll(url) {
3. 
   
4. /* This requests the url "events.php". When it complete (or errors)*/
5. 
   
6. $.ajax({
7. type: "GET"
8. ,url: url
9. ,async: true /* If set to non-async, browser shows page as "Loading.."*/
10. ,cache: false
11. ,timeout: 50000 /* Timeout in ms (50seconds) */
12. ,dataType: "script"
13. ,success: function() { /* called when request to doPoll.php completes */
14. setTimeout(
15. function() {
16. doPoll(url); /* Request next message */
17. url = null; /* Prevent memory leaks */
18. }
19. ,1000 /* ..after 1 seconds */
20. );
21. }
22. ,error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
23. setTimeout(
24. function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
25. doPoll(url); /* Try again after.. */
26. url = null; /* Prevent memory leaks */
27. }
28. ,15000 /* milliseconds (15seconds) */
29. );
30. }
31. });
32. 
    
33. };
