Auto-fill FedEx forms in Safari via AppleScript

Someone mentioned this doesn't work anymore. That's because FedEx updated their page to a more AJAX like one. I'd updated my script for that but I couldn't for the life of me get it to properly fill out the State correctly because of some hidden script they had running. And I'm just not enough of a Javascript hacker to be able to see what was going on.

Then by accident I discovered that they have the old page up still. It's the one listed as "low bandwidth" when you log in to FedEx.

Change the url in the above script for when you first go to FedEx to this one:

https://www.fedex.com/ship/shipEntryAction.do?method=doEntry&link=1&locale=en_US&urlparams=us&sType=F

That should make it work.
