Close Tab in Safari?

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I have a script that copies the text from a webpage. When the script finishes I would like it to close the tab. Is this possible? If so can someone point me in the right direction??

#2 
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
	tell process "Safari"
		click menu item "Close Tab" of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
		--> or substitute the line below for the line above
		--> keystroke "w" using {command down}
	end tell
end tell

This use of UI Scripting assumes you have “Enable access for assistive devices” checked in System Prefs–>Universal Access.

After playing around for a while I came up with the Keystroke command you suggested but


		click menu item "Close Tab" of menu "File" of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1

Looks a lot cleaner.

Thanks for the help.
