Camino AppleScript support

[hardcoreUFO]

Now if AppleScript in Camino supported "do javascript" there are some nifty things that could be done with this. Is there an update to AppleScript support in the works?

One of the things that could be done is that any application could steal all of your saved Camino passwords via AppleScript, so we have no plans to implement do javascript unless we can find a solution for that issue.

Ouch. Not cool.

Now how can I still be a new user when I joined in 1969? How long does it take?

Is there more robust Applescript support planned for Camino, though? An obvious one, for example, is to be able to take the contents of a page and do something with it, such as export it to another program.

Yes. We looked at providing access to page source this summer, but right now Camino gets view-source in a way that's completely opaque to it, so getting access to page contents is going to require digging into Gecko's internals....

Is there still no way to do Javascript with Applescript in Camino? I want to put my bookmarklets that go to the top or bottom of a webpage into a toolbar button instead.

javascript:scroll(0,document.getElementsByTagName(%22body%22)%5B0%5D.scrollHeight);
javascript:scroll(0,0)

If not, does anyone know of a pure Applescript way to do this with Camino?

Answered myself:

Code: Select all

activate application "Camino"
tell application "System Events"
   key code 125 using command down
end tell

Code: Select all

activate application "Camino"
tell application "System Events"
   key code 126 using command down
end tell

Slightly shorter ways to do the same thing.

Code: Select all

activate application "Camino"
tell application "System Events" to key code 125 using command down

Code: Select all

activate application "Camino"
tell application "System Events" to key code 126 using command down

Where can I find a list of AppleScript commands supported by Camino? For instance, how would I open a succession of URLs, starting a new page for the first one and adding tabs for the others?

Launch AppleScript Editor, choose "Open Dictionary..." from the File menu and navigate to Camino.app. (This is how you find the list for any application.)

For instance, how would I open a succession of URLs, starting a new page for the first one and adding tabs for the others?

The "open location" command will always open the specified URL in a new tab or window (depending on how your Camino prefs are set).

Code: Select all

tell application "Camino"
  open location "http://www.apple.com"
  open location "http://caminobrowser.org"
  -- repeat as desired
end tell

In addition to what thom-22 mentioned, we also have a page on the wiki where we describe changes between versions and some limitations of the support.
