A firefox GUI script. Need some help.

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

Ok I am making a script to work in Firefox 2 that will do some stuff over 4 tabs.
What I am running into is this I can get it to move tabs and reload that tab but what has me is how to make it stop the script,
For say 10 seconds or 15 then move to the next tab and reload that tab.
I could use some help. Because the web site that I am using this on is fast most the time but it from time to time has log and i need to make the script stop for that amount of time. So the the web server can have the time to do the one update in one tab then be ready from the next tab.
Thank you all for your help.

Hi Michael,

Try using pause 5 or pause 10 or the phrase: do shell script “sleep 5”, or do shell script “sleep 10”, etc…You’ll have to play with the timing a bit. You also might consider doing something other than GUI, as it has its drawbacks.

'hope this helps.

Sincerely,
