Hello, i want to duplicate the active tab in safari with help of an applescript.

If i start the script in the scripteditor all works fine but if i start it in safari, a new tab appears and the old tab reloads.

tell application "Safari"
	activate
	set this_URL to URL of document 1
	my create_tab(this_URL)
end tell

on create_tab(new_url)
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process "Safari"
			keystroke "t" using command down
		end tell
	end tell
	delay 0.2
	tell application "Safari"
		set URL of document to new_url
	end tell
end create_tab

Please Help

Hi

If you’re using Safari 3, GUI scripting is not necessary


tell application "Safari"
	tell window 1 to make new tab with properties {URL:(get URL of document 1)}
end tell
