open location "http://www.google.com"

______________________________________________________________________

Open Location should not be used with Safari as part of a tell-block. It's from the Standard Additions osax and is a way of routing a URL to the default application for its type.

Since we already know we're using Safari the canonical method of opening a URL in a new window is:

----------------------------------------------------------------

tell application "Safari"

make new document with properties {URL:"http://www.google.com"}

end tell

----------------------------------------------------------------

For a little smoother experience I'd do something like this instead of closing all windows:

----------------------------------------------------------------

tell application "Safari"

activate

tell front window

set URL of its document to "http://www.google.com"

close (tabs whose index is not 1)

end tell

close (windows whose index is not 1)

end tell

----------------------------------------------------------------

Best Regards,

Chris
