There are two principal classes of tasks that JavaScript<->AppleScript communication facilitate (and which cannot be accomplished by either AppleScript or JavaScript/bookmarklets on their own):
- Tasks requiring access to the page source (or DOM source)
- which is currently not possible with AppleScript
- Combining a series of steps into a single, simple task
- perhaps to replicate a Gecko-y Firefox feature in Camino
Examples
- Microformat detection and handling
- Replace haxies that add toolbar buttons (or custom builds) for popular add-ons (e.g. Ma.gnolia or del.icio.us integration)
