Here's a simple script for getting an HTML "<a>"
link to the active tab of the current browser
(i.e., front window). This is something II seem
to end up writing for each of the (many)
browsers I use, with each providing access to the
current tab of the current window, its address,
and its title in a slightly different way. This
is the how it looks for OmniWeb.
tell application "OmniWeb"
-- Puts an HTML link to the active tab of
the front browser onto the clipboard
-- Mitchell L Model, mlm,acm,org, 2006-03-04
set the clipboard to my getLinkToActiveTab()
end tell
to getLinkToActiveTab()
-- could use this handler in other ways
too, so it's separate from the tell above
tell application "OmniWeb" to ¬
("<a href=\"" & ¬
((the address of the front browser) as string) & ¬
"\">" & ¬
((the name of the front browser) as string) & ¬
"</a>")
end getLinkToActiveTab
