Chipp and Gary, Basically, what I want to be able to do is pop up a browser window, and then let the user navigate around through a 3rd party site - Amazon.com - then, when they get to a page that has a product of interest to them, press a Rev button and grab the URL and parse through it for some info that I need to make XML calls to Amazon Web Services and get some data back that I pop into a database stack.
So all I really care about is whether or not Rev can find out the URL that is currently being displayed in the browser window. Currently, I am only interested in doing this on Windows, though who knows...I might to a Mac version someday, though I figure that there is probably someway to do what I need already there with AppleScript.
