Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
The title says it all: Can someone tell me please how - most likely via UI scripting, since I can't see anything in the dictionary - I can get Safari to save the front most document as a Web Archive using AppleScript?
Hi Bernard,
The following script should do the trick:
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
keystroke "s" usingcommand down-- Save As…
repeat until sheet 1 of window 1 exists
delay 0.1
end repeat
keystroke "d" usingcommand down-- save to Desktop
tell sheet 1 of window 1
clickpop up button 1 of group 1
keystroke "W" & return-- Web Archive
keystrokereturn-- Save
if sheet 1 exists then -- that is "sheet 1 of sheet 1"
click button "Replace" of sheet 1
end if
end tell
end tell
end tell
Essentially, if I understand well, you have replaced
repeat while enabled of menu item "Save as…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1 is false
endrepeat
with
repeat while enabled of menu item "Stop" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 is true
end repeat
in the “tellapplication "System Events" totellprocess "Safari"” block.
That's a very interesting alternative, indeed. Thanks for that information.
By the way, you could remove “istrue” from the last statement above in order to be still more concise. 😉

OK - thanks - I did not know that.
I have removed 'is true' from my latest code at:
