Hi,

Is it possible to insert a string into the Location Bar of the current tab? I would like to write

 javascript:alert(document.title="title")

and then press enter. This changes the title of the current tab to “title”.

Thanks,

gecko

the AppleScript capabilities of firefox (even UI scripting) are hopeless

This works for me in Tiger.

-- Bring Firefox to the front to receive keystrokes.
tell application "Firefox" to activate

tell application "System Events"
	-- Key in Command-l to select the Location field.
	keystroke "l" using {command down}
	-- Key in the JavaScript line and a return.
	keystroke "javascript:alert(document.title=\"title\")" & return
	-- Wait for the confirmation dialog sheet to appear. (Uses GUI Scripting.)
	tell application process "firefox-bin"
		repeat until (sheet 1 of window 1 exists)
			delay 0.2
		end repeat
	end tell
	-- Dismiss the dialog sheet.
	keystroke return
end tell
