Try this....


-- start of script
set the action_URL to
"http://hotornot.whow.de/user.php?action=index.php";


set the form_data to
"bildid=244235&previmg_wertung=10&previd=244235&state=wertung&redir=ne in"

set the query_results_file to ((path to startup disk) as text) &
"Festplatte:" & "FMData"

try
with timeout of 30 seconds -- try connecting for 1 minute
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
download the action_URL to file the query_results_file form
data
form_data replacing yes with progress
quit
end tell
end timeout
tell application "Finder"
set the file type of the file query_results_file to "TEXT"
set the creator type of the file query_results_file to "MSIE"
open the file query_results_file
end tell

display dialog the error_message buttons {"Cancel"} default

end tell
end if
end try

Hallo Rob,

thanks for your help.

With your suggestion i get the error:

runtime error: Can't make alias . Can't make some object into a
<<handler run>>.

The word text in the following sentence is highlighted: set the
query_results_file to ((path to startup disk) as text) & "Festplatte:" &
"FMData"

To find out the path to startup disk i tried following:

tell application "Finder"
get path to startup disk
set a to result
display dialog a
end tell

and i got the error:

can't make 'startup disk' into an item

Any other suggestions??

Under OS X scripting addition commands don't seem to work very well (if at all) inside Finder (and other) tell blocks. Do your "get path" outside the tell block and you should be OK. In fact, skip the Finder tell block altogether ("display dialog" is part of the Standard Additions OSAX, too). All it takes is

display dialog (path to startup disk as text)
