Hey, someone save me the trouble of actually looking this up myself:
how do you get AS to open a webpage using the default browser? Up 'til
now I've been writing specific script for specific browsers and only
now has it occurred to me that there must be a simpler way.
do shell script "open
http://www.apple.com";
open location "
http://www.apple.com";
both work. The nice thing about the do shell script is it shows you
that you can open a URL from the command line by simply saying:
% open
http://www.apple.com
this can be useful if your interacting with CLI tools
