Does IE have an equivalent of Netscape's window.stop()

window.stop wow, that could be a powerful command. if people came to your site you could keep them there
by trapping the onunload event and then calling window.stop.
I dont think IE has anything like this
on error goto hell

febwgdk, you just found a nice little flaw i would say.
I just tested that little idea out and it worked
<html>
<body onunload="window.stop()">
</body>
</html>
open this page in Netscape 4 and try and move off the page once you have loaded it. It even works on netscape 6
you have to close the browser to change the page, amazing stuff!

ok so netscape 6 doesnt error but it does seem to freak a little when you call window.stop as it does not load the next page immediately. If you click in the address bar and hit return it does eventually go the the required page. Not so for netcape 4 though. I suppose its a good thing that very few people still use this browser. This is one example of a good enough reason to stop using it.

Nice one!
The problem I've got still remains though.
Maybe if I'm a bit more specific...
I have a web page consisting of frames and iframes, where users can 1) submit forms whose targets can be one of the frames or iframes; 2) alter the location of one of the frames or iframes. In each case, it'd be REALLY NICE if the user could do something to cancel the operation (if it was taking too long) without simply issuing another request to the same frame or iframe, or reloading.
Any ideas?

im thinking more warez
on error goto hell
on error goto hell
Not that I would ever do this, but if I wanted to get warez, I wouldn't be going to any web site. There are tons of peer-to-peer programs you can use.
But if you want to venture into the dark side of the Internet to get warez, naughty pictures, and illegal movies, then running into unscrupulous individuals is a chance you'll have to take.
Personally, I'd rather use the Internet as a tool to get my work done more efficiently and get off it as quickly as possible to live in the real world.
Please note - I'm not judging anyone; to each his own. Just stating my opinion.

-Are you sure about that?
You've logged into this site more than 2000 times in the last year, thats a hell of a lot of time on the net for someone who doesnt like to spend too much time on the net.
You've written FAQs! writting an FAQ does not help you get your work done more efficiently and it certainly doesnt not decrease the time you spend on the net.
You love the net, admit it
Anyway, its people who dont really know the difference between a good site and a bad site when looking at a bunch of results from google that im thinking of.
Its the fact that if someone wanted to, they could stop you from moving off that page.

I was wondering if anyone would catch onto that as I was writing my post. By answering questions and writing FAQ's, I'm also learning in the process - which makes me a more efficient programmer. Plus, I only use the Internet while I'm at work, which I really don't consider as being in the real world. ![[smile]](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif "[smile] [smile]")
For those poor people who get stuck on a page like that, they should bookmark this link and use it to get unstuck:
javascript:void(window.onunload='')
