how to click on browser “stop loading this page” using ruby watir?

Question

I want to click on browser "stop loading this page" icon, when timeout error occurs,what should i do for it? Some thing like this:

browser.stop   # this is wrong.

Answer 1

I searched forever and the best I could come up with was:

b = Watir::Browser.new
b.driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 3

This worked great for me with firefox.

Answer 2

The below link may help you :

• Stop loading page watir-webdriver

• Is there have method to stop page loading in watir-webdriver

Answer 3

Just try this logic when you want to stop the loading,

@browser.send_keys :escape

It is not the best way of doing what you want but still the above approach worked out for me.

If you use Watir-Webdriver then you can try this for IE

@browser.execute_script "document.execCommand('Stop')"
