would you add a function only with a url parameter to detect when a web page is finished loading ? i know Macro Express 3 can do it.
A certain page is framed, then the "done" text appears in the statusbar several times, it is trouble to deteck when the page is finished loading.

I don't know how to do it currently, but I've made a note to research it. Thanks for the idea.

I would also like to add, that I would liked to see this too.

The problem with "Done" at the bottom of many web pages/status bar is that the web page is often not really done loading. "Done" can show up even several times in the process of the web page loading.

I've done stuff like:


Note- I can put the above into a "loop" and then use the "break" command if something I want is found in the page source (using ifInString) that was copied to the clipboard.

The reason why I would do this would be to get a positive ID that the webpage has loaded, to "read" the web page and make sure that what I want is on that web page. I would then proceed to enter javascript commands, go to other links based on what the web page contained, etc...

Automating Web pages is difficult, but it is also something I think many users would like to do with AutoHotkey.

Any additional features in AutoHotkey that could help this situation would be really nice.

This is another example and without right-clicking to get page source. You basically stay in a loop until whatever you want on the page shows up, gets copied to the clipboard, then you can use the clipboard info. to verify that the page or info. you want has loaded, and then you can proceed to something else.

You don't have to use javascript command, though I find them handy, and you can just use controlsend or regular send (but I like controlsend better).
