Remarks
abort was introduced in Windows Internet Explorer 7.
The abort method interrupts an asynchronous operation in progress. (Pass true to the varAsync parameter of open to create an asynchronous request.)
Calling abort resets the object; the onreadystatechange event handler is removed, and readyState is changed to 0 (uninitialized).
