  You'll need access to the document object of the web browser.
Then you just do something like:

Do While document.readyState <> 4
  a.Sleep 100
Loop

  But this gets very involved. If I were to attempt to do
such a thing I'd want to get access to the document object.
For that you access an IE object. Then again, the only
thing crazier than online banking via script would be doing
it with IE. And doing it that way requires expertise
with webpage scripting. I'm not even certain that it's possible.

  If you're just shelling then you really don't have any
access to control the details on the page. Unless you're
going to undertake learning all that.... I'm not sure what your
options are, other than to just wait a long time and hope
for the best.
