I need make progress bar with following function:

# Ruby on Rails code

\<%= periodically\_call\_remote(:update =\> ‘progress-bar’, :url =\> {  
:action =\> :progress },  
:frequency =\> 0.1 , :complete =\> “check(request)”) %\>

How I can stop it?  
If I have this:

/\* JavaScript code \*/  
function check(request, object) {  
if (request.responseText == ‘abort’) {  
// code for stop periodically update  
}  
}
