WatiN wait for java script execution completed before click link (IE)

Question

i have this page displaying statement every 2 second (using javascript), at the end of it there is a link which the user can click.

with IE it will click the link before javascript generated statement is completed. when i use Link.Click()

(with Firefox it will throw exception, which is fine with me)

is there a way to wait for javascript execution to complete before link gets clicked (IE)?

TIA

EDITED // the code, pretty simple seaching for link that startwith //"Continue seaching" in the browser then click

if (ln.Text.StartsWith("Continue searching", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
{
  ln.Click();
}

Thx

Answer 1

return false from the function "Link.Click" then the default behaviour will be disregarded.

Answer 2

If I understand correctly, the link is already loaded, but javascript will attach some events to it a little bit later, right? Could you just wait a little bit using Thread.Sleep(500)? Or maybe you can find out what is going on after execution of javascript code. You will have to find out how js on that page works, but maybe js is adding some sort of class or something similar to that link so you could wait in active loop with a little bit of Thread.Sleep until js do its job.

Answer 3

Did you try using ie.WaitUntilContainsText("my text"); ?
