How to cancel an image from loading
Suppose in Javascript that you assign the SRC to an IMG tag. It is a large SRC and you want to cancel it before it has finished loading. Assigning the SRC to another image will not stop the data from loading. That is, in the middle of the load you can assign the SRC to another smaller image and the smaller image will be loaded and appear in your browser. However, the original SRC still continues downloading. Similarly, deleting the IMG node will not prevent the SRC from continuing to download. No guesses please, look at the repro steps.
