Hi,
Okay, let's say you're writing a script for someone else and it's going
to open up Internet Explorer. And I don't want to use the default
browser (open location...). But what if this person you're writing the
script for has changed the name of Internet Explorer to something else.
Is there a way to write a script that can still find it? Here's an
example I've been testing in OS X 10.1.4 using AS 1.8.2 (with IE 5.0)
but it's not working. It won't let me compile anything in the Internet
Explorer (variable) tell block.
--------------------------------------------
global appName
tell application "Finder"
set appName to name of application file id "MSIE" as string
end tell
tell application appName
OpenURL "
http://www.yahoo.com";
end tell
--------------------------------------------
I'm also wondering if there's Raw Data for Internet Explorer. For
example, I think <class cdis> stands for 'disk' (< and > are actually
chevrons). Is there something else I could use that would point to
Internet Explorer on any machine without actually having to type in the
name? Is it possible for Netscape too?
And the final question I'd like to ask is if there were more than one
version of Internet Explorer or Netscape on a machine, is there a way to
point to a certain one without using it's name as well? I couldn't get
'version' to work right, but I'm thinking it might be possible?
Thanks for your help!
Jay
