netAbort

Usage

netAbort(URL)

netAbort(netID)

Description

Command; cancels a network operation without waiting for a result.

Using a network ID is the most efficient way to stop a network operation. The ID is returned

when you use a network function such as

getNetText() or postNetText().

In some cases, when a network ID is not available, you can use a URL to stop the transmission of

data for that URL. The URL must be identical to that used to begin the network operation. If the

data transmission is complete, this command has no effect.

Parameters

URL

Required. Specifies the URL to cancel.

netID Optional. Specifies the ID of the network operation to cancel.

Example

This statement passes a network ID to netAbort to cancel a particular network operation:

-- Lingo syntax

on mouseUp

netAbort(myNetID)

end

// JavaScript syntax

function mouseUp() {

netAbort(myNetID);

}
