Window.stop() (Method)

This duplicates the behavior of the Stop button on the Netscape Navigator button bar.

Availability:

JavaScript - 1.2

Netscape - 4.0

Property/method value type: undefined

JavaScript syntax: - myWindow.stop()

- stop()

This is a means of immediately halting the script being executed. It's likely this will mainly be used in an error handler, although you may want to conditionally prevent a form from being submitted.

It is effectively the same as clicking on the Stop button in the toolbar.

Warnings:

Since this is only supported on Netscape Navigator, it is not a portable feature and not recommended for deployment.
