Bret Pettichord commented on WTR-166:
-------------------------------------
I still think we need to add a hook to the wait method. Actually, we have such
a hook, in a way, and I've been using it at Convio. It is the "add_checker"
method. This adds a method that is run after wait runs, but you could write a
method (as I have) that waits for addition shit to happen in the browser before
releasing control.
So, I guess we could resolve this just by writing some documentation about how
the existing add_checker method could be used to add custom wait logic.
I guess I'm signging up to write this documentation.

> Reporter: Jeff Fry
> Priority: Major

>
> Watir.wait() listens to whether IE thinks its done loading, and then checks
> to see that the main document and any sub documents/frames have finished
> loading. More and more, there are pages that on load also kick off various
> XHRs and timers. For me - and possibly for a growing number of folks, testing
> more AJAXy applications - it would be great to expand wait() to check if
> there are any XHRs or timers pending, in additional to the checks it
> currently makes.
> Note, I don't know, but there may be applications where an XHR is
> intentionally left open at all times. If this happens I would guess that it's
> rare, but if we change the default behavior of watir.wait() to wait for
> pending XHRs and timers, we might want to give a config option that turns
> this off as well.
