Window: stop() method
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since August 2016.
The window.stop() stops further resource loading in the current
browsing context, equivalent to the stop button in the browser.
Because of how scripts are executed, this method cannot interrupt its parent document's loading, but it will stop its images, new windows, and other still-loading objects.
Syntax
js
stop()
Parameters
None.
Return value
None (undefined).
Examples
js
window.stop();
