Stop iframe from loading

Question

So i have iframe and i\'m uploading files through it, so my question is how can i stop it in the middle of the loading? I\'ve tried to change src with jquery function attr

Answer 1

I believe the following answers your question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2207589/1157493

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();
}

If you'd like the iframe to go to a different page you could try to redirect it to "about:blank"

Answer 2

This works for me (IE, Chrome, FF, Opera):

$iframe.attr('src','about:blank');

Answer 3

can use this for disabling all iframe content

<script>
    var frames = window.frames;
    var i;

    for (i = 0; i < frames.length; i++) {
        frames[i].location = "";
    }
</script>
