How do I get the URL of the active tab in Firefox/IE/Chrome?
Hi, I am writing a small program, which needs to get the URL of the active tab in either of firefox, internet exploerer or chrome. My need is similar as the one posted at, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3631 ... -ie-chrome I did a lot of Googling, and get the following code. The following code can get the url of the first tab in internet explorer. My question is, how can I get the url of the current active tab? Thanks. ''' http://efreedom.com/Question/1-2555905/ ...

The InternetExplorer.Application automation object doesn't contain any way to manipulate tabs directly; but, there are likely less direct methods of achieving whatever you are trying to accomplish if you let us know what that is. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hello! The InternetExplorer.Application automation object doesn't contain any way to manipulate tabs directly False. Try this example: import win32com.client for instance in win32com.client.Dispatch('{9BA05972-F6A8-11CF-A442-00A0C90A8F39}'): print instance, URL :,instance.LocationURL @-salutations -- Michel Claveau -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The problem with using a ShellWindows object is that you could easily connect to the wrong instance, especially since the OP doesn't know the LocationURL of the instance that he is looking for. That is why I asked for clarification. Once we know what the OP is trying to do, we can make sure that he has a reliable method to connect to the proper instance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
