macOS Applescript Help - Page Loader

[dugwan]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me, I want to make something that would automatically refresh pages after a certain time or the page fails to load (whichever comes first).

The other option i have is i have found a script that keeps launching new tabs towards a website, but this is again time based and was wondering if there was a way of instead of it launching after so many seconds if i could make it launch a new tab if the number of tabs drops below a certain number (e.g. i close one because it hasn't loaded).

If anyone can offer any help or suggestions i would be hugely grateful.

Thanks mike

You can count the tabs and act on them with something like this :

tell application "Safari"
	set tabCount to count tabs of window 1
	if tabCount is less than or equal to 4 then
		tell window 1 to make new tab with properties {URL:"http://www.google.com"}
	end if
end tell

Works in Safari 5.0.6 on Leopard.
