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

Yes, and point taken. I quote the wrong posting of yours. What I meant to be referring to was:

In the case of Safari, "document" is the name of a class, the name of an application’s elements and the name of a window’s property (all of these items having seemingly the same underlying code 'docu')

This seems really bad and perhaps unique to Safari, so I was trying to make the point that various strange behavior I had been seeing over the last months might have been due more to Safari's odd AppleScript implementation than to language problems I thought I was running into.
