Save for web scripting

Does anyone have a readily available script for saving for web as optimised jpegs? i cant find one anywhere online, still learning javascript so would like to see how its done and then play around with it myself for a better understanding.

I've also looked in the photoshop documentation and cant find anywhere to script 'optimize to file size'? ideally i would like the quality to differ as i would want the max file size to be 600kb for example. is this possible? its possible if i manually saveforweb?

      hi!
      yes thats the page i was after, so in the saveforweb dialog box, you can save the image at a specified file size, this obviously determines the quality (0,100). The scripts intention is to save maybe 150-200 images per day and they cant really be above 700kb each as theyre used for ecom purposes.

      That’s not in the DOM, as dar as I can tell. 

      Does it produce identifyable AM code with ScripitingListerner.plugin? 

      Otherwiese the Script would probably need to itterate through quality settings, check the size until it hits an acceptable one.
