SP17 AppleScript Problem
 

In v5.1.2, it was reasonably simple to set the address for the currently visible tab. This worked:

set address of browser 1 to "http://www.apple.com"

In SP17, the above no longer works. However, the 'read' version still functions:

get address of browser 1

After looking through the SP17 AS dictionary, I tried the following alternative:

set address of active tab of browser 1 to "http://www.apple.com"

But in SP17, that also does not work. However, the 'read' version again works just fine:

get address of active tab of browser 1

------

So the upshot:

The AS command I was using in v5.1.2 to set the address of the currently active tab no longer works. I can't find any workaround.

I figured you folks would want to know.

There seem to be a number of known problems with applescript in the SPs; see [thread=79]this thread[/thread].

The problem with 'address' will hopefully be fixed with the next release.
