There also is the ability to use $dde to get the url and title of the active webpage, which is what I use in my little script. However I know this doesn't work for all browsers but that is the browsers fault. http://scripting.pball.win My personal site with some scripts I've released.

However, the browser must be the default browser. If your default browser is IE and you open FF, I am pretty sure that you can't use $url to get FF's url. DDE may still be possible, though I've never used it, so I'm not positive of that. Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net

(the script above doesn't have opera or netscape included but can be added following the same format) http://scripting.pball.win My personal site with some scripts I've released.

Beware of MeStinkBAD! He knows more than he actually does!
