This was mention in another topic very recently... You have to options I know of. You can use PixelGetColor() to get the color of a pixel of the website. That way you can see if its loaded or not. Disadvantages is each computer its run on may have a different browser/browser resolution/screen resolution etc. As you can see its only good for personal use. The seconds option is to use StatusBarGetText(), look it up in the helpfile. It has an example with IE but it can also be used for other browsers .

And there is a third option with COM (with 3.1.1++). For IE:

Const $URL = "http://your-location"
$ObjIE=ObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application")

With $ObjIE
  .Visible = True
  .Navigate($URL)
  Do; Idle until page load is complete
    Sleep(50)
  Until .ReadyState = 4
EndWith

;your code here

But you can't do that with FireFox right?

Correct. No COM interface for FireFox. There should be ways to do this by tapping into the DOM object model, but I have not attempted it.
