Wait till website is finished loading, then proceed - how?

I've made a marco using the recorder of Robotask, to automatically open Google Chrome, going to a certain website, where it needs to hit on a download-button.
This all works fine, yet, the loading time of the website differs.
This way the website sometimes isnt done loading, so the download button havent appeared yet.
Ofcourse, I can set the delay between hitting the download-button to like 10 secs, but isnt there a way to let's say:
"Wait till website is finished loading"?

If you use the external web browser then this is the only way

How about the the usage of Screen Pixel compliance?
For instance,
The website is loading and at a sudden moment, the Download knob appears (which has a different color than when the knob wasnt showing before).
I could make an if/else solution, like, if color at specific location is #grey do nothing, else (the button is blue and showing) run the script further from here?

First of all make sure the website is always opening at the same resolution and viewing percentage since the script will watch exactly one pixel, it comes very precise.
First I have created a test task in which I will constantly monitor the HEX color code of a specific pixel.
Code: Select all

It will display the HEX code every x seconds in the right down corner. When you have the right HEX code, add this part to your "main" task and change the HEX decimal there.
Here is a example code from one of my tasks.

Good examples
Some notes:
- - you can compare colors as numbers. But you have to initiate the variable kleur to 0 (for example) before the loop;
- you can use Color Compliance action to compare the color with some etalon. This action allows the inexact coincidence of colors.

omg, it's brilliant!
esp. with the usage of that loop-statement.
I cant thank you enough Rukbunker

I thought that you already found this solution...

with the usage of that loop-statement.
We'll add action like "Wait for pixel" in the next release.
It will replace the waiting in the loop.
