I experimented with your offering. Please try this: Launch Netscape,
navigate somewhere, put the following in Script Editor, run the
script, and bring Netscape to the front before the delay expires.
delay 5
tell application "Netscape" to URL of front window -- <-- (1)
tell application "System Events" to name of first process [NO BREAK]
whose frontmost is true
tell application result to URL of front window -- <-- (2)
I see these results in the log window (OS 10.2.3):
tell application "Netscape"
get URL of window 1
--> "
http://www.apple.com/";
end tell
tell application "System Events"
get name of process 1 whose frontmost = true
--> "Netscape"
end tell
tell application "Netscape"
get URL of window 1
<<event ascrgdut>> <-- those are chevrons
get URL of window 1
--> Netscape got an error: Can't get URL of window 1.
Can you explain why the first (1) "URL of front window" works, but
the second (2) fails? In both cases, Netscape is getting the command.
