Dear Scripters:
I would like to know how is it possible to fill a text field inside an application that does’t have dictionary. That to say, I can, for example, click the menu item doing:

 
tell application "FeedMe"
	activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
	tell process "FeedMe"
		click the menu item "New Item" of the menu "Feed" of menu bar 1
	end tell
end tell

But, I don’t know how is it possible to write a text in the text fields of my application!
Anyone knows how does it work?
Thanks in advance!

profesoralex,

As far as I know, if an app does not have a dictionary for AppleScript then it isn’t scriptable. I don’t know if you can use Java or some other
language or not however.

Jacques, only one thing: do you know to do the same thing but in Safari? That’s to say: write in a text field? for example, you enter in “www.Yahoo.es” and you introduce your login. Thanks!
