I have the same problem as posted in this topic: HTMLUnit doesn't wait for Javascript The solution partly helped (using BrowserVersion.FIREFOX_24), as previously page wasn't even displayed properly, at least now is, however I'm stuck on ...Loading... message, which i checked in browser and it takes up to 10 seconds to show results. Then I tried to use other code posted there, so my looks pretty much like this:

HtmlPage htmlPage = null;
try {
  htmlPage = submit.click();
  int i = webClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScript(1000);
  while (i > 0)
  {
    i = webClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScript(1000);
    System.out.println(i);

    if (i == 0)
    {
      break;
    }
    synchronized (htmlPage)
    {
      System.out.println("wait");
      try {
        htmlPage.wait(500);
      } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
  }
} catch (IOException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

By clicking, I'm submitting the form. Any ideas? Im new in HtmlUnit, so please be lenient. Thank you so much!

I think you're overcomplicating this. Additionally, I wouldn't recommend using the waitForBackgroundJavaScript method either. Furthermore, the HTMLUnit API itself doesn't recommend it.

I've explained in this question a better and simpler way to work with AJAX:

Get the changed HTML content after it's updated by Javascript? (htmlunit)
