YOu can find more info on this property in your help file under _IEPropertyGet

#include <IE.au3> 
_IEPropertyGet ( ByRef $o_object, $s_property )

[water]

I think what you need is "_IELoadWait". Details/problems please see the help file.

[CounterSpell]

Both of these would work, but:

_IELoadWait : uses a set time so if internet hits a slower point it will mess up the script

_IEPropertyGet : Should be able to check busy according to help file. So even if your internet is going really slow it will wait.

[water]

So this code should make sure that the page has been loaded completely?

If _IEPropertyget($oIE,"readystate") = 4 Then MsgBox(0,"","Page loaded!")

For the return values of "readystate" please see here.

Ive never thought of using it that way but as far as i can tell that should work i was thinking something more like

While _IEPropertyget($oIE,"busy") <> 1 ;I Maybe wrong on the 1 but I think 1 means finished
Wend
MsgBox(0,"","Page loaded!")

According to MS "busy" returns TRUE and FALSE resp. 1 and 0. So I think it should be:

While _IEPropertyget($oIE,"busy") = 1
  Sleep(250)
Wend
MsgBox(0,"","Page loaded!")

Yaah, thanks for correcting that. I always get the true false confused. but one minor note here you may want to check for redirect first... I just realized some website use redirects during page loads you would never even see it happen and it would come back for a second as page complete. So if you dont know i would add it in too but i dont know the exact code for that I just know it exists.

There was some discussion about this problem a few weeks ago and IIRC the solution was not to check for busy but to check for the existance of a page element that gets loaded as one of the last things on the page. But I got the impression that waiting for redirected pages can become a bit tricky
