Question

I don’t understand a thing about $.ajax, .done and .fail

I start my ajax call, assigning this to a variabile.

At next ajax call i test if variable is defined, and then i call abort.

I’m not able to undertsand if .abort() causes execution of .done or not.

If it causes .done, how to check status and detect aborted call ?

From http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/#jqXHR :

In particular, calling .abort() on the object will halt the request before it completes.

… so I understand that .done will not be fired after a .abort, right ?

Answer 1

The second argument to the fail callback is textStatus, for an aborted request that should be "abort". I wouldn’t expect the done callback to be fired.
