Admittedly, I only scanned some of the middle posts in this thread, but this
clarification is very confusing.
Am I missing something related to why you want Safari (a web browser) to
pass data to Explorer (a web browser)?
POST is a method implemented by servers, and HTML forms can be submitted
with the POST method.
If you are experiencing a problem whereby one browser will successfully
submit a form via POST while another won't, then perhaps addressing that
error is more useful than browser-to-browser passing via script.
Also, your clarification is pretty circular and non-specific regarding the
phrase "open a URL".
Is the end result a downloaded file? The display of a specific page? Some
other web-initiated action?
You can write an AppleScript to submit a form-encoded URL (either collecting
from an HTML form or by just assembling the name-value form data pairs),
using the POST method, with or without a web browser.
It reads from your description like you want to display a form in Safari,
fill it out, submit the form data you've entered via Internet Explorer
(hunh?) or to have the result of the Safari submission displayed in IE
instead of Safari (hunh?)
Got details?
