Assuming you're accessing pages within the Same Origin...

the "easy way" isn't as responsive as jQuery's ready event which can't be applied outside of the original window context:

cur_window.onload = function () {
  //new window has loaded
};

If you're trying to open http://www.google.com/ in a new window, you wont have any access to the window object, and therefor have no way of knowing when the new window has loaded.

The only way to do this is if you write code in the page which is opened in the popup to tell the parent page, the opener object in js, that it has finished loading.

In your example, as your are loading Google, this is not possible.
