Is there any reason in particular why you wan to do it using
AppleEvents, it would be a lot easier to use AppleScript and use a
NSAppleScript instance to run the script. For the information you are
after you are probable better of using Safari.
To get the source
tell front document of application "Safari" to source
To get the title
tell front window of application "Safari" to name
To get the url
tell front document of application "Safari" to URL
Using NSAppleScript to execute theses you will be returned an
NSAppleEventDescriptor, you can then get the results a string with the
NSAppleEventDescriptor method stringValue. To do this using AppleEvent
is possible since AppleScripts does every thing through AppleEvents but
you are really making things much more difficult with little if no gain.

Anyone have some sample code that shows how to retrieve information
about the current browser window in Safari using AppleEvents? It seems
to be possible to get a browser document containing the source, title
and URL. Some sample code would help a lot. Thanks!
I didn't get a response on this one, so my next question is: does
anyone have some sample code that shows how to retrieve information
about the current browser window from OmniWeb using AppleEvents? Thanks
again.
