ABORT <apex:commandLink> action

Hi,

 

I want to abort the Ajax request cause by clicking a commandLink.

 

I was thinking in something like this....

 

 

<script>
	function startRequest () {
		alert('startRequest');
	}
	
	function endRequest () {
		alert('endRequest');
	}
	
	function abortRequest () {
		var currentAjaxPost = ......;
		currentAjaxPost.abort();
	}
</scrip>

<apex:form>
	<apex:outputpanel id="fooPanel"></apex:outputpanel>
	<apex:commandLink action="{!foo}" onclick="startRequest();" oncomplete="endRequest();" rerender="fooPanel"/>
	<a href="javascript:;" onclick="abortRequest();">ABORT</a>
</apex:form>
 
After clicking on comandLink, while the action is being executed, if I click on ABORT link, I want the ajax request to be cancelled( preventing the endRequest(); function to be called ) .
 
 
 Any idea??
 
Thanks
J.

i think you can return false from the onclick and it may cancel the post, not 100% sure

Yes, if i put return false in the onclick of the commandLink like this:
<apex:commandLink onclick="return false;" the link DOESN'T DO the post.
But i want to CANCEL the post (once i click the commandLink and before the oncomplete event)...
