How to check ready state for Firefox using RFT

Question

I have been working on a web app, and it was designed for Firefox only. The getProperty(".readyState") always return 4 >> READY even if the page is still loading. I already tried the following: - image comparison using Robot (NO LUCK) - waitForExistence

readyState is an IE property and it seems it is not working properly using Firefox.

any help from the experts are greatly appreciated. Thanks

• Try using waitForExistence on some object on the page that signifies that it is ready. That is, rather than waitForExistence on the page itself, waitForExistence on a child object of that page. For example, if a certain link or button is only available when the page is ready, sync on that.
• If this is a page with asynchronous requests running in the background, RFT does have functions which allow you to sync on completion of ajax requests. See the RFT online help docs for ajax support.
