How to wait for ajax load before performing any activity in selenium webdriver?

Question

How to wait for ajax load before performing any activity in selenium webdriver? I have a form where i fill form fields through my script and click on a button and next form is opened and few fields get prepopulated from the last form i filled, i want to wait on that form so that the form gets filled and after that my next script runs ie until my ajax loads. I am using java.

I think Wait Until is used but i am not sure how to use this. Or if there is some other solution kindly suggest..

You can use the waitForCondition method as explained in this post.

Ultimately you'll end up with a timeout or your test may never complete. For example:

public void waitForJQuery() {
    WebDriverBackedSelenium webDriverBackedSelenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, driver.getCurrentUrl());
    webDriverBackedSelenium.waitForCondition("(typeof(sjq)==='undefined') || sjq.active == 0", JAVASCRIPT_TIMEOUT);
}
