Hi all,
I am a Netscape user since version 2. Sometimes, when I move a window, that
window moves by itself far above the MenuBar. Then, that window is no more
accessible via standard commands. Here comes AppleScript.
When you can, off-line, use the two next scripts to get the window back to a
normal position:
1. How to get the properties of the front window
------------------------------------------------
To know what command I can use, I typed:
tell application "Netscape"
return properties of front window
end tell
Run this script and get the returned properties from the Result pane:
{«class pObT»:window, «class pTit»:"Yahoo! Groups : xxxyyyzzz - Netscape",
«class curl»:"http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xxx/yyy/zzz/";, index:1, bounds:{0,
-123, 886, 850}, «class pLcn»:{0, -123}, closeable:true, titled:true,
modal:false, resizable:false, zoomable:true, zoomed:true, «class pNMo»:true,
«class pMMo»:false, floating:false, visible:true}
The relevant part of the above properties is:
«class pLcn»:{0, -123}
Yes, we could use the bounds properties, but I want to change the window top
location, not the window size ;)
2. How to set a new location to the front window
------------------------------------------------
the property to change is «class pLcn» (location or position as you will);
the target window have to be the frontmost, so click in the target window;
I love to see that window at the leftmost position (x) and just below the
menubar (y): {0, 44}
tell application "Netscape"
set «class pLcn» of front window to {0, 44}
end tell
Tested using Mac OS X 10.3.7 on a PowerBook 15" Alu.
HTH,
Emile
PS: copy paste the second script and save it for future use. The first script is
here for understandings purposes.
