MAC OS SAFARI SCRIPT KILL CODE
I ran out of time to figure out what is going on - has anyone else ran into the situation where perfectly good code pasted into a comment here, then previewed, then copied, pasted back into Applescript Editor, compiled without fail - fails to run properly? Then, if I make an equivalent-result change to the Javascript code in the string in AppleScript (like adding a single space after the semi-colon in the block of JavaScript code), it runs properly. I had example code, but something strange is making any attempt to copy my code from the Preview and paste into AppleScript Editor result in failure, even though the code is identical to what ran successfully prior to posting.

You can fill out and submit web forms, modify CSS properties of DIVs to hide them, change colors, and much more. Almost anything you can do via Javascript is possible. Or, get all the image URLs by looping over document.images. You can also run Javascript code that gets all the links from a page by looping over the array documents.links. For example, you can get the selected text (as noted in some other hints on this site) using the Javascript code: "document.getSelection() " set twoName to (tab 2 of front window)'s name log twoName set lastName to (last tab of front window)'s name log lastName set currentTabNum to index of current tab of front window log currentTabNum -the selected tab can't be the first or last set nextTab to (tab (currentTabNum + 1) of front window) set nextName to nextTab's name log nextName set prevTab to (tab (currentTabNum - 1) of front window) set prevName to prevTab's name log prevName set tabsList to front window's tabs as list -gets all open tabs set tabsInfo to to end of tabsInfo end repeat return tabsInfo end tellNote also that this returns the result, rather than just logging it in the event listing.Īnother very useful AppleScript command for Safari is 'do Javascript' - it lets you run Javascript code in Safari for a specific document, allowing you to do many things the Safari doesn't make directly available via AppleScript. Tell application "Safari" set currentTab to current tab of front window -if you have multiple windows, controlling/choosing them works much the same way as tabs set currentName to currentTab's name log currentName set currentURL to currentTab's URL log currentURL (*set currentText to currentTab's text log currentText*) (*set currentSource to currentTab's source log currentSource*) -these are commented out because they return, of course, very long strings set currentVisi to currentTab's visible log currentVisi set URL of currentTab to "" -replcaces current URL.
