Wait for page load in Selenium

Question

How do you make Selenium 2.0 wait for the page to load?

Answer 1

Man all these answers require too much code. This should be a simple thing as its pretty common.

Why not just inject some simple javascript with the webdriver and check. This is the method I use in my webscraper class. The javascript is pretty basic even if you don't know js.

    def js_get_page_state(self):        
    """
    Javascript for getting document.readyState
    :return: Pages state.

    More Info: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/readyState
    """
    ready_state = self.driver.execute_script('return document.readyState')
    if ready_state == 'loading':
        self.logger.info("Loading Page...")
    elif ready_state == 'interactive':
        self.logger.info("Page is interactive")
    elif ready_state == 'complete':
        self.logger.info("The page is fully loaded!")
    return ready_state
