Control Safari browser

Karl Puperze

Hi,

I am using win32ole to control the Internet Explorer and I want to port
my tool to work with Safari.
I know that there is an extension for the watir project, which uses
AppleScript to drive safari, but this is not very elegant.

Does anyone know an interface (like win32ole) to control the safari
browser.
Is it WebKit? Maybe with RubyCocoa?

Thanks for your Help.

Have a look at Automator actions:

OttoMate
Web Test Automator Actions (for Safari)

or websites like:

SafariWatir (trunk) no longer uses Ruby/AppleScript to drive Safari.
It now uses Hamish Sanderson's excellent rb-appscript Ruby/Apple-event
bridge. I'm not sure if you would consider this more elegant or not,
but it's certainly a lot faster. :-)
