JavaScript to externally automate Webpage operation
I am a newby to JavaScript, suggested to me to use to automate the task of opening of a Web page, selecting three internal buttons in sequence to download the underlying chart data. I have created the App via Automator on macOS, to run the Script, successfully open the Web Page, but cannot find a way to select and click() on the buttons. Can someone please help me. Robert. This is the code suggested by Grok 3 Beta, but I see this error: Error: First parameter passed to Document Constructor must be an object. function run(input, parameters) { var Safari = Application('Safari'); Safari.activate(); // Open the AEMO data dashboard (Grok 3 Beta recomendation opens the web page correctly) Safari.Document().make(); Safari.windows[0].currentTab.url = 'https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/data-nem/data-dashboard-nem'; delay(10); // Wait for page to load // Click the Fuel Mix tab (target the active in the tabs) Safari.Document(0).doJavaScript("document.querySelector('.tabs .active').click()"); delay(5); // Wait for tab content to load // Select 48 hrs from the dropdown Safari.Document(0).doJavaScript("document.querySelector('#interval').value = '48H'; document.querySelector('#interval').dispatchEvent(new Event('change'))"); delay(5); // Wait for selection to take effect // Click the download button Safari.Document(0).doJavaScript("document.querySelector('.visualisation-icon-button').click()"); return input; }

In Safari's JavaScript geolocation, is altitude based on MSL or WGS84 ellipsoid?
Hello all, I'm trying to retrieve geolocation data on the web, but I'm having trouble with the altitude value, which seems to differ from what I get on Android. When using navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition in Safari, is the altitude value based on mean sea level, or is it ellipsoidal altitude based on the WGS84 ellipsoid? altitude (WebKit JS): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkitjs/coordinates/1631861-altitude altitude (Core Location): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/altitude ellipsoidalAltitude (Core Location): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/cllocation/ellipsoidalaltitude If anyone has any insight into this topic I would greatly appreciate it!

HTML problem at Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version
We confirmed a problem at Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version. For confirmation, we made a HTML document (see below HTML1) what include ‘method="POST" target="_blank"’ and tested the form however server received GET method and there is no parameter, server did not receive “id” parameter. We confirmed that fact in captured packet and log file that on the server. HTML1: We also made another HTML document (see below HTML2) what include submit button, but the server received GET method as above. HTML2: And we also confirmed that it behaves differently depending on the network environment. If the form targets a name that does not exist (ex. target=” A12345”), behaves differently http or https. http: Safari opened new tag, but the server received GET method. Normally, Safari open new tag and the server receive POST method. https: Safari opened new tag, and the server received POST method. It is normally. If the form targets ‘_blank’, the server received GET method on http or https both. We think Safari change the method POST to GET and delete parameters. It is not conformed to the HTML specification if is that true. We confirmed it was not happened at Safari on iPadOS 17.4, and Windows PC (Edge, Chrome). The method what the server received is POST. We find same problem in Apple Support Community (see below URL). https://discussionsjapan.apple.com/thread/255987615 (Described in Japanese) Is it a bug in Safari on iPadOS 18.2 or after version? Do you have plan to fix? Or if fixed the bug, when do you release fixed version.

wkwebview/safari failed to load local http webview
We are using WKWebView to load content from a local server. On specific iPhones running the latest iOS, the web view gets stuck on the loading state. We confirmed this is a system-wide networking issue because the same URL also fails to load in mobile Safari. Workaround: The only way to restore connectivity to the local host is to reboot the iPhone. this happens on last iOs releases on some iPhones with ios 26.2 and 26.3

Incorrect page zoom after pinch-to-zoom and orientation change on Bing search page
Steps to Reproduce: Open the Bing search page in Safari (example URL: https://www.bing.com/search?q=webkit&form=APIPH1&PC=APPL). Pinch-zoom in or out, then return the page to exactly 100% zoom. Rotate the device from portrait to landscape orientation. Observe that the page is incorrectly scaled to a value other than 100%. Rotate the device back to portrait orientation. The page remains at the incorrect zoom level. Expected Result: After returning the page to 100% zoom, changing orientation should keep the zoom level at exactly 100% in both portrait and landscape modes. Actual Result: After returning to 100% zoom, rotating to landscape changes the zoom to a non-100% value, and rotating back to portrait retains the incorrect zoom level.

Install Safari Extension fails with "Unable to download App" and "Operation not permitted" in log
We have a Safari extension that's been up on the App Store for about 18 months with no apparent issues. This week, however, while working on an update, we uninstalled the production version on our test machines and installed a developer version. When we had some issues, we tried to go back to the production version downloaded from the App Store, but we get an pop saying "Unable to download App." In the log, the most obviously relevant error is 'Operation not permitted'. This occurs on several machines and different logins on those machines in both norma and safe modes. However, on another machine that never had one installed, we could still install the app from the app store, so I suspect there is something left behind that needs to be removed, but I don't know what. FWIW, I see the download directory getting created under /Applications, but it is promptly removed when the failure popup appears. Any suggestions?

min-height not interpreted preoperly after upgrading iOS 18.4
I have a UI application built with the Vue framework, using Vuetify for the UI components. There's a div with the class v-application--wrap, which is provided by Vuetify. This class internally includes the following style rule. .v-application--wrap { backface-visibility: hidden; display: flex; flex: 1 1 auto; flex-direction: column; max-width: 100%; min-height: 100vh; position: relative; } The pages were rendering correctly up to version 18.3, but after upgrading to version 18.4, we encountered layout issues related to height. Upon investigation, we discovered that the min-height property was no longer being interpreted or applied correctly. Replacing min-height with height resolved the issue, and the pages began loading as expected. Any insights into why this behavior is occurring would be greatly appreciated.

iOS share extension cannot open app from Chrome
Our UI-less share extension (com.apple.services) appears in Safari and Chrome. We raise a popup "Open in (app)..." via the Action.js script document.location.href = urlScheme://... in Safari. However, in Chrome, while our extension executes, parses the URL item attachment from Chrome, it never triggers that popup or opens our app. How can a UI-less share extension open our app from Chrome? Is the accepted practice, despite guidelines, turning the com.apple.ui-services view controller invisible and auto-openURLing? Several apps on the store appear to do this, immediately popping their app without any confirmation dialog or UI in both Safari and Chrome. https://stackoverflow.com/a/79369242

WebView on macOS
Hello everyone, I am currently working on integrating a WebView into my macOS application, intended to allow users to browse tutorial webpages directly within the app. Although I’ve followed an example that appears syntactically correct, the WebView does not render any webpage content. Below is a code snippet for reference: import SwiftUI import WebKit struct HelpWebView: View { @State private var toggle = false @State private var page = WebPage() private var url: URL { toggle ? URL(string: "https://www.webkit.org")! : URL(string: "https://www.swift.org")! } var body: some View { WebView(page) .onAppear { page.load(URLRequest(url: url)) } .onChange(of: toggle) { page.load(URLRequest(url: url)) } .toolbar { Button("Reload", systemImage: "arrow.clockwise") { toggle.toggle() } } } } I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions on what might be causing this issue or how to resolve it. Thank you in advance for your help!

Behavior of Safari in HTTP/2 communication
I want to confirm the specifications and behavior of Safari. We have a system built on Microsoft Azure that uses Azure AD B2C for authentication. When we logging in, there is a phone authentication feature where a call is made to the registered phone number. However, this phone authentication does not work properly only on iPhone's Safari. The specific situation is listed below: When performing phone authentication on iPhone's Safari, a call is made from Azure AD B2C, and pressing the # button on the Safari screen can be done. But then, it transitions to an error screen. We tried multiple iPhone devices and multiple iOS versions, but the result was the same. But when accessing the system on a PC, and performing phone authentication, it works without any errors. Also when we use browsers other than Safari (for example, Google Chrome and Firefox) on the iPhone, the phone authentication works without any errors, too. Even with Safari, if the device displaying the login screen and the device making the call are different, phone authentication works without any errors, too.(it fails if they are the same device). We reached out Microsoft about this issue, and they responded that: The Azure resource called FrontDoor at the front end of Azure AD B2C supports the HTTP/2 protocol, and HTTP/2 protocol is used in communication with Safari. In Safari's HTTP/2 communication, when a call is received while the screen is displayed, a reset packet is sent to the web server (in this case, the web server is FrontDoor). This interrupts the session, causing a session termination error on the Azure AD B2C side, and phone authentication fails. Therefore, we would like to ask you the following two points: In HTTP/2 communication, does the Safari browser send a reset packet to the web server when it receives a phone call? If so, what is the cause of this behavior? And are there any measures to prevent the reset packet from being sent?

When using WebAuthn with WKWebView
WebAuthn can be used in Safari, but when using it with WKWebView, you need to set the default browser definition (com.apple.developer.web-browser). Is this correct? Also, is it possible that the terms of use will change or that it will no longer be available in WKWebView in the future?

-webkit-touch-callout: none; not working in Safari on iOS 26.1
Hi everyone, I want users not to see the system context menu when long-pressing text on a page in Safari on iOS. I found on MDN that the CSS property -webkit-touch-callout: none; can achieve this. But in reality, it doesn't really work. MDN documents URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Properties/-webkit-touch-callout Here’s a minimal example: function preventIOSSafariContextMenu() { if (document.getElementById(STYLE_ELEMENT_ID)) return; if (!IS_TOUCH_DEVICE) return; const style = document.createElement("style"); style.id = STYLE_ELEMENT_ID; style.textContent = ` html, body { -webkit-touch-callout: none !important; } `; (document.head || document.documentElement).appendChild(style); } The context menu persists. Has anyone else encountered this? Is this an intentional change in WebKit, or could it be a regression? If it’s intentional, is there a recommended alternative? Thanks in advance for any insights!

Parse error in WebAssembly code only in Safari
I have compiled some Java code to WebAssembly via TeaVM and wrapped it in a PWA. The resulting code runs nicely in Firefox and Chrome but throws an exception in Safari. CompileError: WebAssembly.Module doesn't parse at byte 1657: invalid extended GC op 24, in function at index 2251 Can anybody tell me what's wrong with that code? I mean it can't be so bad if Firefox and Chrome can parse and run it without problems. I am using the most recent versions of all browsers and the offending code can be found here: Run the demo via: https://mpmediasoft.de/demos/Emmentaler/Emmentaler-Demo-TeaVM-Wasm/index.html The offending wasm file is: https://mpmediasoft.de/demos/Emmentaler/Emmentaler-Demo-TeaVM-Wasm/tvw/ModelBridgeTeaVM.wasm With Safari the demo just shows some empty space instead of a complex polygon. You can see the error in the javascript console of Safari.

First installation of the extension - sending messages to the background script from the event handler in the content script does not work
After the first installation (out of AppStore) of the extension in the browser, the content script is correctly inserted into the page (twice for some reason) and a message is sent from the root of the content script to the background script, which responds correctly. However, if an event handler is registered within the content script, within which the message is also sent to the background script, it will never reach the background script. window.addEventListener("message", function (event) { // We only accept messages from ourselves if (event.source !== window) { return; } if (event.data.source && event.data.source === appIdentification) { browser.runtime.sendMessage(event.data); } }, false); It does not matter with what delay the event handler is called (i.e. the background script is not asleep). If I refresh the page or close and reopen the browser and reload the page, everything works correctly and the message sent from the event handler is already delivered to the background script. The event handler is used so that the extension code is uniform for all browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Opera, Firefox), i.e. it is not intended to use externally_connectable for sending messages from the webpage directly to the background script, which Safari should support. The expected behavior is that the extension will work even after the first installation, as is the case with other browsers. Procedure: Enter the test website: https://www.mssf.cz/testapp/check_client.aspx Do the initial installation of the extension (could be downloaded from here: https://1drv.ms/f/c/76f4c93826df41a0/Ej5MQX9ctyhHv_P9_t_6uAwB05ET-nzXuMhPeu56nOgkWg?e=cudqRJ) Set a breakpoint in the event handler for "message" within the content script, open the background script and set a breakpoint in the event handler for onMessage Click on the "Validate certificate" button on the page loaded in point 1 Step through the content script to the point where the message is sent to the background script, the breakpoint within the background script is never hit, which is an error, the message should come to the background script

Hi everyone, I want users not to see the system context menu when long-pressing text on a page in Safari on iOS. I found on MDN that the CSS property -webkit-touch-callout: none; can achieve this. But in reality, it doesn't really work. MDN documents URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Properties/-webkit-touch-callout Here’s a minimal example: function preventIOSSafariContextMenu() { if (document.getElementById(STYLE_ELEMENT_ID)) return; if (!IS_TOUCH_DEVICE) return; const style = document.createElement("style"); style.id = STYLE_ELEMENT_ID; style.textContent = ` html, body { -webkit-touch-callout: none !important; } `; (document.head || document.documentElement).appendChild(style); } The context menu persists. Has anyone else encountered this? Is this an intentional change in WebKit, or could it be a regression? If it’s intentional, is there a recommended alternative? Thanks in advance for any insights!

Parse error in WebAssembly code only in Safari
I have compiled some Java code to WebAssembly via TeaVM and wrapped it in a PWA. The resulting code runs nicely in Firefox and Chrome but throws an exception in Safari. CompileError: WebAssembly.Module doesn't parse at byte 1657: invalid extended GC op 24, in function at index 2251 Can anybody tell me what's wrong with that code? I mean it can't be so bad if Firefox and Chrome can parse and run it without problems. I am using the most recent versions of all browsers and the offending code can be found here: Run the demo via: https://mpmediasoft.de/demos/Emmentaler/Emmentaler-Demo-TeaVM-Wasm/index.html The offending wasm file is: https://mpmediasoft.de/demos/Emmentaler/Emmentaler-Demo-TeaVM-Wasm/tvw/ModelBridgeTeaVM.wasm With Safari the demo just shows some empty space instead of a complex polygon. You can see the error in the javascript console of Safari.

First installation of the extension - sending messages to the background script from the event handler in the content script does not work
After the first installation (out of AppStore) of the extension in the browser, the content script is correctly inserted into the page (twice for some reason) and a message is sent from the root of the content script to the background script, which responds correctly. However, if an event handler is registered within the content script, within which the message is also sent to the background script, it will never reach the background script. window.addEventListener("message", function (event) { // We only accept messages from ourselves if (event.source !== window) { return; } if (event.data.source && event.data.source === appIdentification) { browser.runtime.sendMessage(event.data); } }, false); It does not matter with what delay the event handler is called (i.e. the background script is not asleep). If I refresh the page or close and reopen the browser and reload the page, everything works correctly and the message sent from the event handler is already delivered to the background script. The event handler is used so that the extension code is uniform for all browsers (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Opera, Firefox), i.e. it is not intended to use externally_connectable for sending messages from the webpage directly to the background script, which Safari should support. The expected behavior is that the extension will work even after the first installation, as is the case with other browsers. Procedure: Enter the test website: https://www.mssf.cz/testapp/check_client.aspx Do the initial installation of the extension (could be downloaded from here: https://1drv.ms/f/c/76f4c93826df41a0/Ej5MQX9ctyhHv_P9_t_6uAwB05ET-nzXuMhPeu56nOgkWg?e=cudqRJ) Set a breakpoint in the event handler for "message" within the content script, open the background script and set a breakpoint in the event handler for onMessage Click on the "Validate certificate" button on the page loaded in point 1 Step through the content script to the point where the message is sent to the background script, the breakpoint within the background script is never hit, which is an error, the message should come to the background script
