Trying to type into a field with AppleScript
I'm trying to write a script that will remove a set of cookies from Safari. I can get the Preferences window open and setting the focus in the search field. At that point, the script fails (see "<<<" below). Any thoughts as to why the strings aren't being placed into the search field?
TIA,
David
