Code: Select all

on enterInField
put the text into tVar
If tVar is not empty then
answer tVar titled "let me see what is in tVar"
open URL tVar
save tVar to a file or to a sqlite database
do other fun stuff
end if
end enterInField
something like that, put it in the script of the field to start with and experiment

Perhaps this should have been a "mouseUp" handler in a button, as opposed to an "enterInField" handler, in, I suppose, a field?

of course, that's also a possibility.
i don't have to tell you, but @Lina the enterInfield can also trigger the mouseUp --> focus on btn"dosomething" or send "mouseUp" to btn"dosomething". Many people hit the Enter or Return key after they write something in a field. For Return you need also an returnInfield handler, as enter and return are two different things.
