Hi,

Try this ...

var str='do shell script "open http://192.168.9.218/ags/indesignReturn.php?rtype=closeSignal&fileStatus=5&batchId=331320"';

app.doScript(str, ScriptLanguage.APPLESCRIPT_LANGUAGE);

Hi

Thanks for reply

i try your code it opens the browser, but the url not properly execute

"http://192.168.9.218/ags/indesignReturn.php?rtype=closeSignal"

this code only shows after the '&' symbol it is not copied in address bar

Dirty solution ...

JS code

// URL escape & by \\
var myURL="http://192.168.9.218/ags/indesignReturn.php?rtype=closeSignal\\&fileStatus=5\\&batchId=331320";
// call a applescript
var mScript = "/Users/xxx/Desktop/openURL.scpt";
var mResult = app.doScript(mScript,ScriptLanguage.applescriptLanguage,[myURL]);

openURL.scp

set myURL to item 1 of arguments
try
    set openURL to do shell script "open " & myURL
on error errStr number errorNumber
    set openURL to false
end try
return openURL
