Question

I am using Selenium WebDriver for crawling a web site(only for example, I will be crawling other web sites too!) which has infinite scroll.

Problem statement:

Answer 1

We had to solve the same problem, and managed using a long Javascript function. Just need to add checks to see which library is not undefined.

PS Thanks for giving me an easy answer for how to check for in progress Prototype requests!

eg. Handle JQuery and XHR/Prototype

var jsExecutor = /*Get your WebDriverInstance*/ as IJavaScriptExecutor;
while(/*your required timeout here*/)
{
    var ajaxComplete = 
      jsExecutor.ExecuteScript("return ((typeof Ajax === 'undefined') ||   
      Ajax.activeRequestCount == 0) && ((typeof jQuery === 'undefined') || $.active == 0)");
    if (ajaxIsComplete)
      return
}
