The Netscape/Mozilla family of browsers have entries in their Applescript dictionaries for the following...

register URL echo: Registers a URL echo handler. The handler will get called whenever a new URL is loaded.
unregister URL echo: Cancels URL echo


syntax = register/unregister URL echo type class -- signature of listener

I remember trying to get this working some years ago in SuperCard - with little success. On the Rev side something along the lines of...

on appleEvent class, eventID, sender
   if class & eventID is "WWW?URLE" then
      request ae data
      put it
   end if
end appleEvent

...should be able to respond to an ae from Netscape. What I've been unable to get right is the 'type class' bit of the Applescript to send to Netscape in the first place so that it establish communication with Rev in the first place.

Has anyone been down this path (successfully) or have any ideas on what I need to do to get this working.

I couldn't find any info on this at mozilla.org BTW.

Thanks in advance.
