Hey Joshua,

Where you went wrong is 'list folder'.
function syntax
set theResult to list folder file ¬
invisibles boolean

List folder does not allow for a filter form.

set fold to path to desktop folder
tell application "System Events"
files of fold whose name extension is "html" and visible is true
end tell

Philip's script works fine. You can do the same thing with the Finder:

tell application "Finder"
tell front window
(files whose name ends with ".html") as alias list
end tell
end tell

tell application "Finder"
tell front window
(files whose name extension is "html") as alias list
end tell
end tell

Applescript can occasionally be crazy-making. :)

Best Regards,

Christopher Stone
