    You need to identify when the screen refreshes and then make a call to wait for the screen to redraw.



    Our web pages have tabs on them, so after running the click method on a tab, I then call WaitForPageToRedraw().  Other situations are when navigating to different pages, or when clicking on a button that changes the UI to display a grid.



    In one situation I have to put a delay in before calling WaitForPageToRedraw() due to a lag between clicking the Save and Close button and the screen beginning to redraw.

I know this is ... well, a long time coming, but here's what I ended up doing based primarily on your ideas:




function CloseBrowser()


{


  isFirefox = g_BrowsertoUse.ItemName == "FireFox";


  if (isFirefox) {


    var browserProcess = Sys.Process("firefox");    


  }


  


  g_BrowsertoUse.Close();


  


  if (isFirefox) {


    var ffClosed = browserProcess.WaitProperty("Exists", false);


    if (!ffClosed) {


      browserProcess.Terminate();


    }


  }


}



So far it has worked like a charm.  



Thank you for your help :)
