Stopping a iframe from loading a page using javascript

by

For FireFox/Safari/Chrome you can use window.stop():

window.frames[0].stop()

For IE, you can do the same thing with document.execCommand(‘Stop’):

window.frames[0].document.execCommand('Stop')

For a cross-browser solution you could use:

if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer') {
  window.frames[0].document.execCommand('Stop');
} else {
  window.frames[0].stop();
}
