Mitchel, since you quoted me below, to be clear I now have resolved to just always use "where its".
This seems to work with Safari, and I don't see any downsides.



set winList to every window where its name ≠ ""
set winList to every window where its document is not missing value



Best Regards,

I have written about many bewilderments in the past 6 months. Many of them had to do with working with Safari, but thinking that they were general AppleScript issues. I think we are learning from this discussion that there are certain areas in which Safari's support for AppleScript is defective, or at the least problematic if you are trying to use it.

So, the guideline to myself is:
  • Use "whose" with properties
  • Use "whose its" with elements
Can anyone verify or refute?
