I'm working on a script that concatinates certain text strings to assemble an
on-the-fly URL references and then passing this reference to NetScape 4.73
(OS 9.2.1/AS 1.6). The load works just fine, but a problem crops up when I
try to load multiple URL's in a loop -- the last URL request is the one that
gets honored, because the others don't get time to load before the loop
updates the request. While I could force it to wait for the load, I'd like to
force the URL's to each load in a new window if possible, one that doesn't
exist yet at the time of the script's running. I've tinkered with Netscape's
internal window numbering scheme and such, and still haven't been able to
force it to a new window.
Shortened example (without a window parameter):
Tell Application "Netscape Communicator"
set OurStartSeg to "
http://www.cyberpoet.net/somefolder/";
set OurEndSeg to ".html"
set TheCountStart to 50
set NumOfPages to 5
repeat with GenericLooper from TheCountStart to (TheCountStart + NumOfPages)
set OurCount to GenericLooper as text
set TheURLPointer to (OurStartSeg & OurCount & OurEndSeg) as text
OpenURL TheURLPointer -- always opens in frontmost window
end repeat
end tell
Result: original window will load the last page requested fully, in this
case, 55.html. The other requests will be over-ridden by the newer request.
Any help appreciated.
