I was intrigued by this so I looked into it. Here is a javascript-based workaround that does seem to do the trick:
tell application "Safari"
set theDocument to document 2
do JavaScript "window.focus();" in theDocument
end tell

After looking around for a way to activate a window in Safari from AppleScript, I finally hit on setting its index to 1. This brings it to the front but leaves keyboard focus on the previously frontmost window. Anybody know of a way to really activate a window in Safari, short of GUI scripting?

Hey David,
This is a nasty bug I reported months ago.
I never found a work-around, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could be done with Javascript.
Can one of the JS-literate types on the list give us a clue on this?
Thanks.
Chris
