Stopping a load on a web window

Good day!

I'm trying to wait for a window to finish loading, but there are times when it is pulling remote ads and the window never finishes, so my script gets hung at an IE_WAIT>%IE[0],r command.

Now, is there any way to have a difinitive timeout set on the wait command and if the time out is struck, it will stop loading the page and then continue the script?

I did try just removing the wait command in put in a manual Wait>30 but when the wait finishes, if the page is still trying to complete, I'll get errors on the next IE_ContainsText> command that is looking for something on the page.

Thanks!

Frank

As you have discovered if there are lots of continuous page loads then using IE_Wait will end up waiting constantly.

My personal choice would be to use WaitScreenImage or WaitScreenText.
