Hi all,
Just a quick heads-up as I don't think anyone else has noted it yet:
'do JavaScript' appears to be broken in the Safari 3.0 beta
(G4/10.4.9). Example:
tell app "Safari" to do JavaScript "return 1" in document 1
Not a "real" bug. The parameter is now a "tab" (instead of a doc).
Further testing this morning:
tell application "Safari"
do JavaScript "document.title = 'hello'; return 1" in tab 1 of
window 1
end tell
Window title changes as expected; still no return value though, so
'do JavaScript' is definitely broken. Feel free to file your own bug
report on it; this is something that should've been caught by basic
unit testing well before public beta.
...
FWIW, I'm also going to file a bug report on the general confusing
mess that is Safari 3's object model. I'm fairly skeptical they'll
bother fixing it, but at least I can say I did my bit.
On a related note, Mark Alldritt just put up a very good blog post on
the need for a Scripting Interface Design guru to educate developers
about the technology and help them design scripting interfaces that
don't suck:

Well worth a read. (I've already left my own 2c on the subject, of
course.;)
Cheers,
has
