how to wait for the popped up window to load

[alfa]

Hello,

I need to click on the popped up page. But i cant make it wait for it to load the new page. IS there an other way than sleep ?

Thanks

Moar details!

We need to know more about what you're doing. When you say page then I can assume that you're automating Firefox or IE?

From help file : WinWaitActive with _IELoadWait might do the trick Edited May 5, 2011 by Jayson

Thank you Jason,

I will try WinWaitActive but _IELoadWait is not working on some situations.

WinWaitActive wont help you - the window may become active before the new page has been completely loaded.

You need _IELoadWait. If it is not working - maybe you are not using it correctly - give more details.

Actually it worked.

WinWaitActive ("Value Selection for Vendor (required entry) - Windows Internet Explorer")

_IELoadWait ($oIE, 1000)

i made the part that needed to wait like this and it worked.

Are you saying that this works :

WinWaitActive ("Value Selection for Vendor (required entry) - Windows Internet Explorer")
_IELoadWait ($oIE, 1000)

and this doesnt work:

_IELoadWait ($oIE, 1000)

Seems quite strange to me - i have never had such issue with IE.

Exactly. Can anyone help me click on a Java button ?
