Selenium "wait" issue

[ecruz]

Has anyone figured out a good way to issue a "wait" command in Selenium so that a page can complete loading before continuing with a test case? The usual waitForElementPresent does not work as expected...

In general, I am finding that I can record well enough, but playback does not work well at all due to objects not being available, usually due to a modal popup like "loading data".

Consider pause(), and also waitForCondition() (http://wiki.openqa.org/display/SEL/waitForCondition) if you set up a condition flag for whatever you're trying to wait for.
