Opera: Can't Get Load Event From Window.open()

var openedWindow = window.open('test.html', 'title'); openedWindow.addEventListener('load', function() { console.log('received load event'); }, false); I want to get the load

Solution 1:

this seems to be a known bug in Opera - I've pushed the internal bug report (CORE-46278) a little bit forward.

The only workaround I can think of is adding callbacks from the popup contents - type opener.popupLoaded(). This may however offer a performance advantage too - you can start interacting with the popup when its script environment is ready and the script you want to talk to is running, rather than waiting for the load event.
