Wait for content

Wait for Content can wait for web content to appear on a page or for a specific URL to finish loading. When it waits for web content, select a web element in the browser; the parent Page Action command then waits until that element is available on the page. These settings are effective only when a browser wait selection is active in the current browser. The UI shows this requirement in a note at the top of the section.
  • Requirement: Specifies how the command handles waiting for content to appear or for a URL to finish loading. The default is Required.
    • Required: Waits for the content or URL. If the content does not appear within the configured Wait for Content Timeout, the command fails.
    • Optional: Waits for the content or URL, but the parent Page Action command does not fail if the content does not appear within the configured Wait for Content Timeout.
    • No Wait: Completes the parent Page Action command as soon as the content appears, without waiting for it to load fully.
  • Timeout: Sets the number of seconds between completion of the action and parsing of the page. The default is 60 seconds.
  • Wait for removal: Waits for the selected element to be removed from the page before continuing. This option is disabled by default.
  • Wait for visibility: Waits for the selected element to become visible before continuing. This option is enabled by default.
  • Wait for change: Waits for any change on the page before continuing. This option is enabled by default.
  • Search All Frames: Specifies whether to wait for all page frames to finish loading.
    • Default: Inherits the setting from the parent command.
    • Yes: Checks the URL of all frames and monitors all web requests that load content asynchronously.
    • No: Checks only the selected frames.
