Stop/Reload Button is a simple proof-of-concept extension that adds a new button in your browser`s toolbar, in accordance with your needs and preferences.
The button added by the Stop/Reload Button extension changes into a stop button when a page is loading.
In other words, the Stop/Reload Button add-on provides you exactly the same functionality as the built-in Stop/Reload control in the address bar, with the only difference that it ha the functionality of a button that can be placed anywhere in the toolbar.
Note: The button does not work on pages entirely restored from Safari`s cache. This is the consequence of a bug in the extension API that prevents such pages from receiving messages sent by an extension`s global page; it has been reported. For this extension the bug could be circumvented, but at the expense of not remembering the scrolling state when reloading.
Requirements:
· Safari 4 or later

· Better late than never: I just discovered the target property of message events, pointing to the tab whence the message was sent. This allowed me to clean up the code and fix the button`s behavior on tabs opening in the background.
