is there a possibility to open a new window with JavaScript and wait with jQuery until the new page has finished loading?

I tried the following, but it did not work:

var win = window.open(url,'',windowSpec);
$(win.window).load(
    function () {
        alert('Finished loading');
    }
);

• javascript
• jquery
• dom

• 3 is the url in the new window on the same domain as the calling script? – Gabriele Petrioli Commented Sep 20, 2012 at 11:57
• Yes, it's all on the same server. – Janus Commented Sep 20, 2012 at 12:05
• Can you edit the page loading in the popup? so to insert some javascript in it? – Nelson Benítez León Commented Sep 20, 2012 at 12:09
• I tried it in the meantime and tried to access the second window with the following $(win.window).load and for the finishing of the loading. But it does not work. – Janus Commented Sep 20, 2012 at 12:12

Since the opened url is on the same server, it means that the two windows can municate.

Add on the page that opens in the window

$(window).load(function() {
    var opener = window.opener || window.dialogArguments;
    if (opener) {
           opener.yourmethod();
       }
});

and on the page that initiates the window.open mand use

function yourmethod(){
  alert('Finished loading');
}
