I also note that there is still no busy status indicator for a
loading window, which is rather annoying. It would be exceedingly
useful.
I'm just doing the download now. Are you talking about what is
displayed in the Status bar or something else?
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).
I see. It's certainly possible for Safari to have this because status
notification, being one of the basic informational items, is
available in both the Carbon and Cocoa interfaces with WebKit. I
wonder if it's possible to query Safari for it from a plugin.
