How to load XMLHttpRequest?

Is it possible to abort() a jQuery load()?

• I'm using load() to get page fragments and the XMLHttpRequest object doesn't seem to be available until the callback (which is too late, obviously). Conversely, is there a way to load a page fragment (via jQuery selector) using $.get()?

• Answer:

  Yes, $.get() will do the trick. The browser's innerHTML parses the html response of such a call, so you just need to shove the response into a dummy DOM node. This is precisely the implementation of .load(). So you need your $.get() callback to do something like: function(resHTML) { $('#target').html( $("<div />") .html( resHTML.replace(/<script(.|\s)*?\/script>/gi, "") ) .find("#content") ); }
