Method to stop page load outdated?

I want to add a stop-button to my page, which can stop the loading of a page inside an iframe.

Say, if I open www.bbc.com in my iframe, and wan't to stop it from loading half way, without stopping the parent page from loading.

I've found some old posts from 2007-2010 which suggest using JS:

HTML:

<input type="button" value="Stop" onclick="stopFrameLoad(); return false;"/>

JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
function stopFrameLoad()
{
window.stop(); //NS only
document.execCommand("Stop"); //IE only
}
</script>

But it looks like this will only work in IE and NS. Any way to make it work in all browsers?

Also, the above example is from 2010. I was wondering if maybe theres another way to do it now?

window.stop();

isn't NS only. it works in all browsers with JQuery.

window.stop(); //should work in all major browsers

document.execCommand("Stop"); //is necessary to support IE
