Is there any way in which I can use Javascript to check whether the opener window (i.e. the one that called window.open() ) has finished loading?

I think you should be able to set a variable in the opener's onload event handler, then check for the existence of the variable in the popup window.

in your opener's HTML page add the following to the body tag...

<body onload="window.bIHaveLoaded = true;">
...


then in your popup, you can use window.opener.bIHaveLoaded to check if it's loaded or not.

alternatively the IE Document supports a property called readyState that can be one of "uninitialized", "loading", "interactive", "complete"
