onLoadFinished being called multiple times without page change?

[c h]

Hi, I'm trying to do some automation, using onUrlChanged & onLoadFinished to setup a flow structure. I think this is the correct way to do this, correct me if I'm wrong?

One problem I am having is... it can become unreliable as onLoadFinished gets called multiple times when there is no url change. Shouldn't a page only ever trigger onLoadFinished once only? What can cause it to constantly being triggered with no further page change?

Basically I'm trying to do this: initial page -> click link -> wait for new page to load, click link -> wait for new page to load, click link -> and so on...

Is it because of AJAX requests? Will they trigger onLoadFinished? ( I would think it doesn't since that is why there is a need for waitfor.js script https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/blob/master/examples/waitfor.js )

IIRC, `onLoadFinished` will be triggered by all child frames/iframes as well.

It can be a bit confusing, no doubt. Ideally frames would have a different named event like `onFrameLoadFinished`.
