Close system dialog with applescript -
is there way click ok button on system dialog applescript? have made workflow on , closing dialog part missing. dialog appears on safari app (since make script work on safari) when button "stop reminders" clicked via javascript function. it's confirmation dialog destructive action (stoping reminders).
clickid("stop reminders button id") --clicking on button need delay 2 -- making sure dialog has enough time appear pressenterbutton() --just trying close clickid(theid) tell application "safari" javascript "document.getelementbyid('" & theid & "').click();" in document 1 end tell end clickid pressenterbutton() tell application "system events" keystroke return end tell end pressenterbutton that's how try now, not works way (it's sad, because when press "enter" on keyboard, works should , dismisses dialog).
