I have a simple script that opens a couple of different web pages in the default browser in os x. After upgrading to 10.3 the script is broken. I get a error -1703 some data was the wrong type??? Please help,

here is the script. very simple.

tell application "Finder"
	open location "http://webpagelink.com"
end tell

This works for me…

open location "http://webpagelink.com"

“open location” is part of the Standard Additions, therefore the Finder tell block is not needed in the script.

And you are using OS 10.3?
I have tested it on 2 machiens and it fails on both.
strange.

Yes, I’m using 10.3.1 (Panther)

I took off the tell … and end tell and it works fine.
Why that makes a difference in 10.3 I have no idea.
