Removed iframe still loads

When trying to remove an iframe from the dom (i.e. $('iframe').remove
()) while the iframe is still loading, the iframe is removed, however
the main browsers progress bar indicates that the iframe is still
loading. Is there a way to stop it from loading and remove it?

Thanks.

Anyone?

Figured it out. I was removing the iframes container (div), and not
the iframe specifically. To fix the problem I had to target the
iframe specifically and remove it, and then it's container.

Actually that still didn't work...

Hi Subtle, I'm a little confused to exactly what's going on. Do you
have a link/example I can check out?

Hi, actually I currently don't. Basically I have an iframe on a page
that loads a very large file. On the page there is a button that when
clicked, will remove the iframe's container (the div): $
('#iframeContainer').remove();

What I expected to happen was that after the iframeContainer was
removed, the browser would stop trying to finish the request made by
the iframe. Instead, even though the iframe was removed, the browser
was still trying to load the big file.

I think I figured it out though. If I set the src on the iframe to
something like src="#" and then remove it, then it appears to work and
the iframe stops loading.

Thanks

No, thank you for posting the solution!

Good job and good luck.
