Answer 1

If you wanted to wait for a specific element:

    Dim el As Object

    Do
        Set el = Nothing
        On Error Resume Next
        Set el = CAS.document.frames("MainFrame").document.getElementById("idHere")
        On Error GoTo 0
        DoEvents
    Loop While el Is Nothing

You probably want to build in a maximum wait time though, so you don't loop endlessly if for some reason the element never appears.
