Is there any way to force a JavaScript to abort prematurely. Most languages have an abort() or exit() function that will stop the script or application in its tracks, no questions asked.

Is there something similar for JavaScript?

yes just use
return false;
statement at the point where you want to stop the script from execution.

Won't this just exit the function?

I need to exit the WHOLE script.

you are right it will.
I think you may have to re-visit the logic in your js program....
