Erik,

I copied your script and ran it (replacing "Safari" with "Omniweb") and 
got "NSCannotCreateScriptCommandError" for Omniweb. Fiddling around a 
bit revealed that the script had no problem returning the window name, 
but I got nothing but error messages trying to access the 'text'. No go 
also with Firefox. It worked fine as you say in Safari.
