simulate the browser's stop button?

Hello!
Is it possible to simulate the browser's stop button in js?
Thanx.

You can, but I don't believe it is cross-browser. The syntax looks like this:

window.stop();

However, I'm guessing you don't actually need to do this. What exactly are you trying to do anyway that would require such code?

I'm in fact making a jsp/js program that gives in one frame a list links to documents containing searched word; when you click on the link, an other frame loads the text and makes a highlight, and other things. In some cases, the progress bar keeps loading very slowly even if all the text is loaded. The easiest way for me is then to invoke the window.stop() function on onload, but I tried that gives an unknown method error in IE 6.0.

There is surely an other way, but it's been I long time I'm trying to understand why in rare cases the browser keeps loading, so I was just trying this new way. Could this maybe be possible using VBScripts?
