You can use Scripting Bridge to do the same things you could do in AppleScript, but in Objective-C, or other languages.

Good evening all...

Is there a way of finding out what is the current topmost webpage being viewed by Safari? Somehow then grabbing the url & title of that page? I have seen a couple applications that do exactly that. You goto a web page using Safari, but then goto the other applications window, and press a button. That application somehow acquires the information from Safari, and then uses it for some purpose. Some Bookmark apps do it this way, as well as some download utilities.

I think I can get this information using Applescript, but one of the developers hinted that he was not using Applescript to do this. Is there an application service or Safari API that passes your application this information?

Information (or better yet, source code) for doing this whatever your method would be appreciated!

Thanks,
