Stop $.ajax on beforeSend

Question

I have this jQuery ajax call:

$.ajax({
    url : \'my_action\',
    dataType: \'script\',
    beforeSend : function(){
        if(1 == 1) //just an example
          


        

Answer 1

xhr.done(); this works for me

$.ajax({
    url : 'my_action',
    dataType: 'script',
    beforeSend : function(xhr){
        if(1 == 1) //just an example
        {
            return false
        };
        xhr.done(); //this works for me
    },
    complete: function(){
        console.log('DONE');
    }
});

http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/

jqXHR.done(function( data, textStatus, jqXHR ) {});

An alternative construct to the success callback option, refer to deferred.done() for implementation details.
