AutoHotkey Community

I'm fairly new to Autohotkey, but found that the suggested solution for determining if a webpage has loaded doesn't seem to work with Firefox. I came up with this workaround which seems to work for me (Assuming FF is your default browser):



Supposing we're loading cnn.com:



Basically we run the web address, then wait for the Title to change which won't happen until it's gotten a title from the HTML source. Then we hit CTRL-U which brings up the 'View Source' window. This window's title will change to "Source of: ...", but -not until- the source file is fully downloaded. We then hit CTRL-W to close that Window and find a fully loaded page (However the images may not all have been downloaded, but this shouldn't matter for the most part if you're navigating without the mouse.)

One other way is to set up a greasemonkey script to add a unique word to the tilte of each website, and wait till that word is found in the page title. Greasemonkey scripts are applied only after the page is loaded. Ajax is an exception.

This will not work for slow connections, so the use makes no sense.

Firefox preloads the title so you will have a nearly empty sourcefile.

it would work if you do that in a loop and "break" if some string is detect. But ifso why not just download the webpage to check for string? i do

yes this does basically nothing as the so called "Source of:" will always come up regardless of whether its loaded.
