I use Peter’s method in Safari, but you can do it in an applescript too (an example for Readability, but use your JS):
(*
The following JavaScript from Arc90 "makes reading on the web more enjoyable by removing the clutter around what you're reading" and the Readability site allows you to set Style, Size and Margin in the material. It is normally used by dragging a link from the Readability page to your Bookmarks Bar, and that puts the JavaScript below as the content of the bookmark. The page thus created in your browser has a link on it to return to the original source.
Visit "http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/" for your own copy.
Because I'm an avid Quicksilver fan (but there are lots of alternatives), I prefer to set up a trigger to run the script below so I can enhance the readability of an article I'm looking at with a simple key combination. Although it cannot render every site I visit, it does remarkably well.
-- Note that the script below has been altered for readability. The original is all one string.
*)
set JS to "readStyle='style-novel';
readSize='size-large';
readMargin='margin-wide';
_readability_script=document.createElement('SCRIPT');
_readability_script.type='text/javascript';
_readability_script.src='http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/js/readability.js?x='+(Math.random());
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(_readability_script);
_readability_css=document.createElement('LINK');
_readability_css.rel='stylesheet';
_readability_css.href='http://lab.arc90.com/experiments/readability/css/readability.css';

Hi adam, as i mentioned to peter i want to open the bookmark via launchbar which won’t open the javascript bookmark…
this is the reason i wanted to try and run via applescript.
i amended your attached code to"
set JS to "javascript:Qr=prompt('Search%20Site%20for','');if(Qr)location.href='http://www.google.com/search?&q=site:'+encodeURIComponent(window.location.hostname)+'+'+escape(Qr)"
tell application "System Events" to set last_app to item 1 of (get name of processes whose frontmost is true)
tell application "System Events" to set last_app to item 1 of (get name of processes whose frontmost is true)
if last_app is "Safari" then
tell document 1 of application "Safari" to do JavaScript JS
else
beep 3
end if
but nothing at all happens (not even the ‘beep 3’)
set JS to "javascript:Qr=prompt('Search Site For:','');if(Qr)location.href='http://www.google.com/search?&q=site:'+encodeURIComponent(window.location.hostname)+'+'+escape(Qr)"
tell application "Safari"
activate
try
document 1
on error
make new document
end try
do JavaScript JS in document 1
end tell
