Daniel-

Thanks for that tip, the "unescape" works like a champ!

I'd like to know if this information has been documented by Apple anywhere. Methinks it would be a good idea to post said changes as they are not reflected in Safari's AppleScript dictionary. I'd have been lost w/o JavaScript gurus who know the code and can figure this stuff out!

Again, many thanks.

Hi - I saw a similar problem discussed on the macscript mailing list.

In response to that issue I tinkered a bit and discovered that
modifying the javascript to use "unescape(getSelection())" instead of
"getSelection()" seems to work around the problem.

For some reason Safari seems willing to return the text from unescape
but not from getSelection() directly.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
