Hmm, i have a very weard problem i never had before. If i run this script it will activate Safari and tipe wwwmacscripternet
without dots. Why is that? My computer can’t type dots anymore?

tell application "Safari"
	activate
end tell
delay 2

tell application "System Events"
	keystroke tab
	keystroke "[url=http://www.macscripter.net]www.macscripter.net[/url]"
	
end tell

Try ths script.

tell application "Safari"
	activate
	open location "[url=http://www.macscripter.net]www.macscripter.net[/url]"
end tell

Are you saying this happens even when you type a . manually?

Your script works as expected for me.

Does this work on your computer:

tell application "Safari"
	activate
end tell
delay 2

tell application "System Events"
	keystroke tab
	keystroke "www"
	key code 47
	keystroke "macscripter"
	key code 47
	keystroke "net"
end tell
