Hide dock ONLY when Safari or iTunes window is open?

Could this be done with Applescript? I've never used it before, so I'm not exactly sure how to go about writing an Applescript to do this. I got a new MacBook (adjusting from a 1920x1200 17" MBP), and the dock is just taking up way too much space at the bottom for web browsing. I like having the dock show all the time, especially when I don't have any windows open. But when Safari and iTunes are open, I really don't want it do be there. And yes, I realize there's a key command to hide/show the dock, but I'd just like it to be automatically done for me. 🙂

I'd really appreciate anybody's help. Thanks!
 
I don't know of anything that will let you do this, and am no expert with applescript.
Personally, I put the dock on the left side of the screen; since most apps and web pages are kind of formatted for 4:3 screens, the "extra" pixels of a widescreen monitor are great for putting the dock there and not having it take up room you would otherwise use.

Just my two cents, I am sure this isn't too helpful. 😱
