The Execute JavaScript in Safari or Google Chrome action allows you to execute a specified JavaScript, either from a file or text. For example,

alert(“hello”)

and return the results. Options for the results of a JavaScript are:

• ignore results.
• display results in a window.
• display results briefly.
• display results large.
• type results.
• paste results.
• save results to variable.
• save results to the system clipboard or a named clipboard.
• save results asynchronously — the action runs while the macro continues on.

If the results are to be saved to a variable or a clipboard then further text areas appear in the action allowing you to specify the variable or specific clipboard.

JavaScript can access variables by using the document.kmvar dictionary, see the Variables section.
