I needed this feature and I've seen there was no solution which worked reliably in Firefox and Opera (I don't use IE, I assume there is some COM solution for it).

It uses user Javascript to monitor when the page is loaded and modifies the page title if it's loaded, so one can query it with wingetttitle.

For Firefox GreaseMonkey needs to be installed for the script to work, Opera has the necessary functionality built-in.

It's not a pure AutoHotkey solution, but at least it works reliably.

// ==UserScript==
// @name           loaded
// @namespace      my
// @description    indicate if a page is loded
// @include        http://www.cnn.com
// ==/UserScript==


window.addEventListener(
  'load',
  function (e) {
    document.title += " [loaded]";
 }, false);

See also this topic for an other feature using the same technique.

Unfortunately there is no COM interface to the afore mentioned browsers thus no AHK COM solution to be had
Thank you keyboardfreak this has been many times asked for and is the best idea I have seen but it as you mentioned isnt an ahk solution but a Grease Monkey/Javascript Solution. Albeit a pretty darn good one
I think once Firefox exposes its internal methods and properties to other languages other than mozilla plug in based then the move from IE to mozilla in the corp world can finally begin. But not untill then
another interesting solution I found is
<!-- m -->http://www.autohotke... ... it firefox<!-- m -->

this is for Mozilla Firefox:

As far as COM IE and Gui Browsers go
<!-- m -->http://www.autohotke... ... highlight=<!-- m -->
The above link is a complete COM IE Gui Browser tutorial
This is just an excerpt the first 2 snippets do not standalone but the 3rd one that I got from Sean does

wait for it to finish loading

loop 
      If (rdy:=COM_Invoke(pwb,"readyState") = 4)
         break

another way to check if a page has loaded using javascript via com

pwin:=COM_Invoke(doc:=COM_Invoke(pwb,"Document"),"parentWindow")	
	if pwin is integer
      loop 
         If rdy:=COM_Invoke(pwin, "execScript","var rdy=document.readyState","rdy") = "complete"  
            break

of course always release objects not textyou wouldnt release rdy but you would release doc in the example above
a comletely independent way to check readystate requires tab if enabled to be the selected tab but doesnt require the window to be active
<!-- m -->http://www.autohotke... ... sc&start=0<!-- m -->

It'll check whether a webpage is completely loaded or not in the active Internet Explorer.

NEED the latest COM Standard Library.

Simple yet effective, another why didn't I think of that If there are any GM clones for IE window.attachEvent('onload',function (){document.title+=' [loaded]';}); would be a valid hook.

[Krogdor]

Oooh, I like it

Thanks for posting this.

[tank]

i tried injecting this into IE and it failed to update the title ?? even tried updating title with

javascript:void(document.title="[loaded]")

nothing :cry:

[polyethene]

Not sure why, perhaps it's an anti-XSS rule. Firefox doesn't have this problem. Here's an example of the embedded script, which works.

oh i know thats why i think its odd
its valid javascript it should work
its very odd indeed
Im gonna do some research of my own see if i can root it out for sure

It's not a pure AutoHotkey solution, but at least it works reliably.

// ==UserScript==
// @name           loaded
// @namespace      my
// @description    indicate if a page is loded
// @include        http://www.cnn.com

window.addEventListener(
  'load',
  function (e) {
    document.title += " [loaded]";
 }, false);

I was so excited to stumble across this thread, I tried it, but it doesnt work in Opera 10.10
I dont know how to correct or update the js. Please help

[yogi]

works like a charm now, thanks so much for the corrected javascript!!! )

[sam.reckoner]

I'm very excited about this thread, but I don't know enough about JavaScript or greasemonkey in Firefox to be able to apply the techniques here.

How about some step-by-step instructions to get this to work in Firefox?

Thanks in advance.

1. is this possible to modify the page title when it's loading and then change it again when page is completely loaded?
2. what about situation when we don't know exacly address of page? at opera page i've found:

// ==UserScript==
// @include <!-- m -->http://example.com/*<!-- m -->
// @include <!-- m -->http://www.example.com/*<!-- m -->
// @exclude <!-- m -->http://example.com/directory/*<!-- m -->
// @exclude <!-- m -->http://www.example.com/example.html<!-- m -->
// ==/UserScript==

but it doesn't work when there is a subdomain e.g: <!-- m -->http://subdomain.exa...tg.cgi?23424234<!-- m -->
how can we change jsBumbler's script to work in this situation?

thanks in advance

This has been mentioned in other threads before, but MozRepl lets you connect over a socket and do pretty much anything with Firefox. In this way it can be very scriptable. You can do essentially anything a plugin can do, not just js within the page. For a while I was sending it commands from AHK and it worked great.
