HTTP script request “Aborted” status

Question

What might cause a normal external script on my app to show up sometimes in Firebug's NET panel as 'Aborted' and not being loaded?

Is this a server issue, or is the browser going nuts?

Answer 1

It is a bug in FireBug causing it to echo noise events. Abort is a normal condition for the end of an HttpRequest.

I think that it is going to be fixed in the next release.

Answer 2

This happens sometimes, for eg:

On a click event on a hyper-link we try to redirect to another URL through JavaScript/jQuery but the default behavior of a hyper-link click is not blocked using preventDefault
