the iframe is the transport channel that is carrying the form posting, so Atanas is correct, you have to stop the transport inside the iframe.
here is a way of doing it depending on browser:
if (iframeObj.contentWindow.document.execCommand)
{ // IE browsers
iframeObj.contentWindow.document.execCommand('Stop');
}
else
{ // other browsers
iframeObj.contentWindow.stop();
}
// notify user upload was cancelled, remove spinner images, etc
Try this:
iframe.contentWindow.stop(); //for anything but IE
iframe.contentWindow.document.execCommand("Stop"); // for IE
Currenty setting iframe src to "javascript:false" works for me.
I'm not sure but i guess removing the iframe from the dom should be enough?
