chris - 'using terms from application "BBEdit"'?!?? 'end postmenuselect?!? how do you know this stuff?!?!??!? 8-)
anyway, i use the keyboard shortcut to preview in (mostly) safari... i.e., a browser instead of bbedit. i created the script, but it didn't work at first. i looked at it again, and thought "ah ha... i need to change the 'if' clause to read like the menu... i.e., 'Preview in Safari (5.1)'... which did not work. i went to the prefs to double-check what the keyboard shortcut thought it was attached to, and prefs said only 'Preview'. i changed the script name to Markup•Preview.scpt, changed the 'if' check to look for just 'Preview', and life is fantastic. you rock. thank you for your help and expertise! bruce p.s.: i used to think that javascript was fragile voodoo, and applescript was obscure voodoo. i still feel the same way about applescript... when it works, it rocks... but it's the weirdest, most inconsistent language i've even come across. i'm sure glad it makes sense to you!
