Does window.stop() work in IE?

VovaM · 11-22-2006

I am trying to use Javascript to stop a web page processing a search when the user hits a cancel button. In Netscape, window.stop() seems to work (in the same way as the Stop button on the browser I guess). However, this does not work in IE. Is there any other method that can be used to get the same result?

Hello,

I'm pretty sure you cannot use the window.stop() function in IE - it MAY work IE9 but im not sure (it works in any other browser though), because IE cannot stop the process.

Instead of window.stop() , use this instead:

document.execCommand("Stop");

Hope this helps you - if not, let me know

Sincerely,
