Is there a way in javascript of stopping an iframe in the middle of loading a page? The reason I need to do this is I have a background iframe streaming data from a web server (via a Comet style mechanism) and I need to be able to sever the connection at will.
Any ideas welcome.

There are two primary methods: 1.) Sending an X-Frame-Options HTTP response header that instructs the browser to disable framing from other domains. An example of using PHP to send the X-Frame-Options header.
Whereas iframes are typically used to include one HTML page within another, the Script in Iframe technique leverages them to load JavaScript without blocking, as shown by the Script in Iframe example.
To check if iframe is loaded or it has a content with JavaScript, we can set the iframe's onload property to a function that runs when the iframe is loaded. document. querySelector("iframe"). onload = () => { console.
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(); } The whole code should be like this, (unclenorton's line was missing a bracket)
if (typeof (window.frames[0].stop) === 'undefined'){ //Internet Explorer code setTimeout(function() {window.frames[0].document.execCommand('Stop');},1000); }else{ //Other browsers setTimeout(function() {window.frames[0].stop();},1000); } If you love us?
