Using scripts I have picked up from this list I have used Safari to get
information from web pages with
tell application "Safari"
set vText to text of document 1
set vtitle to name of window 1
copy the source of the front document to vContent
end tell
Of course to work properly this needs a page open in Safari.
To make the script portable I was trying to use the default browser to
achieve the same thing with
set browserType to word -1 of (do shell script "defaults read
com.apple.LaunchServices |grep -C5 E:html | grep -w LSBundleSignature
")
set {text:browserType} to (text of browserType) as text
set my text item delimiters to "."
tell application "Finder"
set browserPath to (application file id browserType) as alias
set browserName to first text item of (get name of browserPath)
end tell
set my text item delimiters to ""
tell application browserName
activate
set vText to text of document 1
set vtitle to name of window 1
--the above 2 lines work fine
--but if I try
copy the source of the front document to vContent
-->this line gets an error
end tell
Does anyone know why the error occurs and how to get the source of the
page?
