The JavaScript method is "click()", but I think this is still broken in
Safari (at least, it doesn't work here).
This sample does not work in <
http://www.google.com/>
###############################
tell application "Safari"
do JavaScript "document.f.btnG.click()" in document 1
end tell
###############################
You can "submit()" the form (if we are talking about a submit button)
###############################
tell application "Safari"
do JavaScript "document.f.submit()" in document 1
end tell
###############################
Or you can call a javascript function in the page which DOES NOT click the
button, but can execute the attached-to-the-button-script, which is very
ugly.
Or you can still use IE or Omniweb (didn't tested this yet).
Returning to the original question, I think you can't click a regular button
in Safari except for by-hand (or at least, this function is broken in my
Safari's copy). Anyway, if you wish try it, test the code above with
"
http://www.google.com/"; in your front page.
