name of the front windows application

Hi,

OS 10.4.2. I have this script (below) that I would like to be able to run on the front application, Safari and iTunes, and possibly others. What I am trying to do is get the name of the foremost application and apply the script to it. I am having trouble getting the name of the front windows application.

The script is activated by an iKey command.

on main()
-- newL - left border, newT - top border
set wd to (word 3 of (do shell script "defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver | grep -w " & "Width")) as number
set ht to (word 3 of (do shell script "defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver | grep -w " & "Height")) as number


set newT to 22
if wd > 800 then
set newL to 145
else
set newL to 0
end if
tell application "System Events"
if exists (processes whose name contains "Safari") then
if exists {window 1} then
tell application "Safari"
activate
set bounds of window 1 to {newL, newT, wd, ht}
end tell
end if
end if
end tell
return
end main


on run
	main()
end run
