Hello. I'm using an iBook 600 MHz with Mac OS X 10.1.5 and recently
updated to AppleScript 1.8.3 through software update.
I was working on the following script for pinging to a server,
to be triggered from the (Apple) script menu:
on run
set theDefaultServer to "xray3"
display dialog "Type name of the server:" default answer
theDefaultServer
set theServer to the text returned of the result
try
set x to (do shell script "/sbin/ping -c 2 " & theServer)
display dialog x
on error theError
display dialog theError
end try
end run
and found out the following unexpected behavior:
The default answer (in this case "xray3") in the dialog box
is not highlighted; therefore one has to perform an extra step
in order to type a new server name in the dialog box.
I checked and found that this behavior was also observed in other
scripts,
for instance in the "Current temperature by zip code" in the internet
services category of the script menu.
Please, I would appreciate it very much if somebody could check this
behavior, or maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Thank you. Fernando
