How can I make the browser know that the page has finished “loading” when using window.open and writing HTML directly to the new page?

Question

Codepen of the sample code (Warning - opens a new window on loading).

The sample code:

var exampleWin = window.open("about:blank", "example");
var docMarkup = "<!doctype html><html><head><title>test</title></head>" + 
"<body><p>Why is the browser still transferring data? How can I tell it to stop?</p></body></html>";
exampleWin.document.write(docMarkup);

It works fine, except that the newly opened window has the browser loading spinner running forever. If I press stop and refresh on the newly opened page, the spinner stops.

How can I tell the page that there is no more data coming and make the spinner stop?

EDIT: In Firefox

Answer 1

Call document.close :

exampleWin.document.close();

… which will close the output stream that document.write writes to so the browser will know it is done.
