Can I use JavaScript to detect when a page load is cancelled or stopped? This occurs when the browser's stop button is clicked. I do not wish to capture the esc button and would like to capture a browser event that occurs when the browser button is clicked.

    @mplungjan your duplicate does not provide a solution and that answer is a hack that does not answer this question –  May 10 '20 at 17:33

    It was the top one I found. Click on the other links I posted and then tell us which code you tried and why they did not work for you. If you want to determin esc over stop, then you are likely needing a hack anyway – mplungjan May 10 '20 at 17:34

    You're looking for [window.onabort](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/GlobalEventHandlers/onabort) event, which most browser's don't seem to fire – anthumchris May 10 '20 at 17:45
