Confirmed. Are there any sites relying on this feature? What are the use cases for which it is necessary? My particular use case is a component that uploads files to the server asynchronously. I'm writing a component for an Ajax web application framework (Echo2), and the component submits files to an off-screen iframe to prevent a full page refresh. In the supporting browsers, I use window.stop to give the ability to stop a file transfer. As of now in WebKit and KHTML there is no way to stop a transfer once it has started. Per comments in r20178, implementing window.stop() is now in Radar: <rdar://problem/5061826> http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/changeset/20178 Thats hilarious, I had no idea someone else was asking for it. It's something I might work on adding soon - if noone else takes it on. Created attachment 13676 [details]

Mozilla and Opera implement the window.stop() method which stops a window (frame or iframe) from completing a page load. IE provides similar functionality though its document.execCommand("Stop") call. It would be nice if WebKit provided this functionality.
