A useful thing can also be to store your applescripts in custom
properties, with place-holders for values and then:
put the myApplescript of me into tScript
replace <placeholder> with <value> in tScript
do tScript as applescript
an example (including a bit of javaScript):
a custom property called jsSetAndGetAS contains:
set tScr to "
document.ResultSel.Day.selectedIndex = dd;
document.ResultSel.Month.selectedIndex = mm;
document.ResultSel.Year.selectedIndex = yy;
ResultsSubmit()"
tell application "Safari"
do JavaScript tScr in document 1
end tell
and then in my app I have
put the jsSetAndGetAS of me into tScript
replace "dd" with dayOfMonth() in tScript
replace "mm" with MonthNum() in tScript
replace "yy" with getYear() in tScript
do tScript as applescript
building applescripts in a rev script can get hard to read.

There is a difference between 'recordable' and "scriptable' where
Safari is
amazingly scriptable. The key to your solution may be the following:
You might want to check the Applescript dictionary for Safari for
Do Javascript command
this will send a JavaScript command to the active browser window
and active
tab in that window. This could be a 'one-liner'.
A more complictated way is to use UI Elements (User Interface
Elements)
which are quite resplendent in Safari. You can even get the text
string
that is in a static text piece in a java applet!
I have not done this myself, but this should be the framework plus
a few
details......
Try along these lines:
Transcript code
open Safari, go url 'stock page', store the name of the window(or
window ID)
----build the javascript command
put "beginning chars "& \
quote & "quotedStr" & quote & \
" end chars" into javaStrMadeInRev
---------- done building the javascript command
put "tell app ""e&"Safari""e into cmd
--optional could be "activate window id "& theStockTickerID
--optional could be "activate window "& theStockTickerName
put cr & "do javascript "& quote & javaStrMadeInRev & quote after cmd
put cr & "end tell" after cmd
do cmd as applescript
put the result into answerFromSafariWhichShouldBeThePriceILike

Tom,
I was surprised that it did not, but the docs says that it will not
do that. If I clicked in the Finder areas, it only recorded that I
selcted the Finder. It did not record anything when I clicked on
other applications. I thought Safari would have been more
scriptable.

Dennis,
The recording function -- Are you able to at least record a click
at the button location?

I also tried Automator and tried the recording function in
Applescript Studio, but no good.
