title: Try to stop image loading with javascript
body: <p>is there a way to halt the image download with javasript? I would like to extract all urls from the image tags and start the image loading only when the user scrolls to a specific one. I know that I can stop the download via</p>
  
  <pre><code>window.stop()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But by using this workaround the browser stops also loading the background images which are defined in the CSS file(s).</p>
  
  <p>So is there a way to achieve this without implementing a "markup workaround" such as "including the image url into a span or something".</p>
