Stop Image Download when <img> is gone

[dysfunct]

Question for those who know more about this stuff than I: I'm using
jQuery on an interactive site, essentially it creates widget type
things from rss feeds. So users can add and close these widgets and
yada yada. The problems is, a lot of the widgets end up having a lot
of images in them and I've noticed that upon closing the widget, which
removes all <imgtags from the dom, the image transfers continue. Is
there any way to stop an image transfer?

You have my (our?) sympathies.

You would get best help on a jQuery related forum.

Many here on c.l.j won't/can't help with jQuery related issues and those
who MAY be willing to help would need to see a stripped down example of
your problem.

Not the full web site, just the minimum needed to reproduce the issue.

jQuery is junk. Rewrite it or dump it, you can't like it.
