Safari scroll bar problem

G’day scripters

This is probably for Bill Cheeseman, but anyone welcome to chip in.

With my 24/7 Safari page cycling app (that I recently posted, but am updating for bugs), sometimes the vertical scroll bar on sites cannot be ‘seen’ by Applescript, nor by ‘UI Browser’.

UI Browser actually reports the existence of the scrollbar, but does not hilite it, nor offer an Applescript to address it.

Only happens with certain sites, but not always. Ex. http://www.macworld.com

Any known remedies? I’m trying to read the scroll position of the bar.

Regards

Santa

set scrollPos to value of scroll bar 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of group 1 of tab group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1 as text

And what, you ask, was the beginning of it all?
And it is this......
Existence that multiplied itself
For sheer delight of being
And plunged with numberless trillions of forms
So that it might
find
itself
innumerably
