If you're someone who loves running scripts on web pages, then you'll appreciate runScriptFromWebPage. This is a free command-line program that is designed to make your life a lot easier. With this software, you'll be able to run the script (shell script or AppleScript) that is currently selected on the frontmost web page.
Testing has shown that runScriptFromWebPage works exceptionally well with the Safari browser.
