[Qtwebengine] How to tell when DOM resources finishes downloading?

[Kevin Truong]

Thanks Kai -- I'll take a look at the submission process later this week.

Yeah I agree with you it isn't the perfect solution. After the render
downloads the ajax or iframe, I make it wait 100ms and hope it loads into
the DOM. This gets most pages correct, but isn't perfect and many still
serialize too early. Do you have a better idea/suggestion? I know you
suggested this before:

> If you know the HTML/AJAX of the specific page, you might be able to hook
up
a JS handler that is called when the AJAX request is done, and then signal
this to the
C++ world , e.g. via QWebChannel.

If I understand it correctly, this means I have to know beforehand which
node gets inserted into the HTML via the ajax/iframe right? E.g. <div
id="ajax">, and in the javascript, I repeatedly test if div[id=ajax] exists
in the HTML? I prefer not to use this approach, since my test suite have
over 1K URLs and I prefer not to write 1K rules by hand for each URL. I'm
looking for a general way to tell (or approximately tell) when the
ajax/iframe/specific plug in loads into the DOM, and the signal I patched
is currently the only thing I could think of.
