No, I mean a busy status that you can get with a script. In old versions of Netscape you could request the busy status of a window and it would return a 0, 1, or 2, depending whether or not the window was done loading (0), loading but can be interrupted with a new load request (1), loading and can't be interrupted (2).
This is missing from most browsers, but I see that the most recent version of iCab has it. If one uses:
set n to 2
tell application "iCab"
repeat
set n to (get busy of window 1)
if n = 0 then
exit repeat
end if
delay 0.1
end repeat
-- load next page, etc.
end tell
it will only move on to load the next page (or perform whatever task) after the page has completed loading.
It would be nice to have this feature in Safari.
I wrote to the author of iCab two or three years ago and asked for better AppleScript support, including the busy status indicator, and here it is. Took a bit of time, but whatever. Hadn't checked for this in a long time, so maybe he did it ages ago.
