jquery abort() ajax request before sending another

Question

Based on: Abort Ajax requests using jQuery... In inventory_search() - before the ajax request is made, how can I check for any current requests and abort() them before makin

Answer 1

Use a global variable to hold the handle of the current request. In this case declare the var a out side the function and make it global. Before calling the ajax check it is not null. If it is not null abort it other wise assign it with new ajax. In the success/complete event make sure you clear the variable a. May not be best solution out there, but works best.
