Answer 1

ajax requests are HTTP transactions once made cannot be stopped. You can stop ajax request from being initiated but not kill the already made request.

Answer 2

The $.ajax() method returns an object that could be used to do that:

var xhr = $.ajax(
    url: "http://someurl.org",
    success: function() { ... }
);

and then later when you want to stop the request:

xhr.abort();
