Dennis, you said > I thought Safari would have been more scriptable. There is a difference between 'recordable' and "scriptable' where Safari is amazingly scriptable. The key to your solution may be the following:
You might want to check the Applescript dictionary for Safari for Do Javascript command this will send a JavaScript command to the active browser window and active tab in that window. This could be a 'one-liner'. A more complictated way is to use UI Elements (User Interface Elements) which are quite resplendent in Safari. You can even get the text string that is in a static text piece in a java applet! I have not done this myself, but this should be the framework plus a few details...... Try along these lines: Transcript code open Safari, go url 'stock page', store the name of the window(or window ID) ----build the javascript command put "beginning chars "& \ quote & "quotedStr" & quote & \ " end chars" into javaStrMadeInRev ---------- done building the javascript command put "tell app ""e&"Safari""e into cmd --optional could be "activate window id "& theStockTickerID --optional could be "activate window "& theStockTickerName put cr & "do javascript "& quote & javaStrMadeInRev & quote after cmd put cr & "end tell" after cmd do cmd as applescript put the result into answerFromSafariWhichShouldBeThePriceILike HTH Jim Ault Las Vegas On 12/14/05 10:35 AM, "Dennis Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tom, > > I was surprised that it did not, but the docs says that it will not > do that.
