What does status=canceled for a resource mean in Chrome Developer Tools?

Question

What would cause a page to be canceled? I have a screenshot of the Chrome Developer Tools.

Answer 1

In can this helps anybody I came across the cancelled status when I left out the return false; in the form submit. This caused the ajax send to be immediately followed by the submit action, which overwrote the current page. The code is shown below, with the important return false at the end.

$('form').submit(function() {

    $.validator.unobtrusive.parse($('form'));
    var data = $('form').serialize();
    data.__RequestVerificationToken = $('input[name=__RequestVerificationToken]').val();

    if ($('form').valid()) {
        $.ajax({
            url: this.action,
            type: 'POST',
            data: data,
            success: submitSuccess,
            fail: submitFailed
        });
    }
    return false;       //needed to stop default form submit action
});

Hope that helps someone.
