Wait for page load in Selenium

Question

How do you make Selenium 2.0 wait for the page to load?

Answer 1

This seems to be a serious limitation of WebDriver. Obviously waiting for an element will not imply the page being loaded, in particular the DOM can be fully build (onready state) whereby JS is still executing and CSS and images are still loading.

I believe the simplest solution is to set a JS variable upon the onload event after everything is initialized and check and wait for this JS variable in Selenium.
