Details

When I stuffed in the AE support for M5, I just copied the entire 4.5 dictionary resources. As sfraser pointed out, this is too many, especially as even 4.5 does not support them all. The issue was discussed in the last macdev meeting, and we decided to support only these events: Required four events. GetURL DoJavascript I think possibly we could also support GetPref and SetPref, time permitting (because it would give a lot of bang for the buck). Anyway, this bug is here to state that the dictionaries should be modified to advertise only these events.

DoJavaScript() should somehow be related to a window object in the browser, since things like history for goign back and other stuff relates to a window. Also this would let us take advantage of javascript that is already in the windows doc, such as instantiated variables etc. Would make a lot of prototyping on our side easier. Maybe to make it simple we can assume the 'current window as target reference for the AppleEvent. Thanks for considering this.
