Need help with the WaitIE function

I am evaluating WebRecorder. The time it takes to load a page may vary. Is WaitIE used to determine a Web page is finished loading? I see multiple calls to WaitIE. Is it possible to use a While loop?

WaitIE waits for the page to finish loading. The reason for more than one is that some actions cause multiple page loads (consider frames, Ajax etc).

I am testing WebRecorder on a site with frames. I have used multiple WaitIEs. Due to fluctuations with load time and server response time, sometimes the script results in error. Is there a way to check the status of the browser? For instance, once the site finishes loading, the bottom left corner status says "Request Complete". Is it possible to check for that status programmatically?

That is exactly what WaitIE does. It waits until all requests are complete and IE is no longer busy.

Sometimes errors do occur when the response time or server stalls. Would putting more WaitIE help?
