Getting Internet Explorer 5.2 window name

Internet Explorer's applescript implementation is terribly deficient. Although the "GetWindowInfo" works for the name, it is non-standard, and apart from the URL, that's all you can get.

I use iCab (www.icab.de) as my main browser, and it has a pretty good implementation.


For example:

tell application "iCab"
name of window 1
end tell


works for me just fine (plus many other properties of the window, for example I have QuicKeys/AppleScripts that make the window a certain size, move it to a particular location etc.).

I believe that other non-Microsoft browsers also have good AppleScript implementations.
