How can I wait for a popup to load, after using _IEAction($link, "click") to launch it?

Title says it all...

I'm navigating through an admin, I click on a link using _IEAction($link, "click") (it's a javascript link, do I have a choice?), it makes a popup window.

At first, when I tried to get the window with something like this:

$popup = WinGetHandle ( 'Upload File - Microsoft Internet Explorer' )

Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't.

I put a sleep(3000) before the WinGetHandle, and that seems to have fixed it.

Is there a better way? I have no idea how long it will take for this popup to load, so using sleep() is unreliable, not to mention annoying, since it's adding needless time.

Thanks, in advance.

Excellent! The 'text' param can be anything in the window? I'm guessing I can add some of the web page text to confirm that it's actually loaded.

Thanks much, will try.

It is all in the help file... When in doubt consult the help file....
