I have a script that goes as follows

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre><font size=1 face=courier>
set getwin to (list windows)
if getwin is <font color = red>"windowcheckfail"</font> then
display dialog <font color = red>"You must have a web site loaded to use this application."</font> with icon note default button <font color = red>" OK "</font> buttons <font color = red>" OK "</font>
end if
</font>[/code]

Now if no windows are open, then getwin is nothing:

And here is the result

--&gt; {}

Now I want it to bring up an error when the result is nothing... but what exactly is nothing?

if getwin is "" didn't work for me... any ideas?

Instead of "", use {}.

As a note you don't need to alert the user if there are no windows.

<font face = "courier">
tell application "My Great Application"
if windows is not {} then
--perform your actions here
end if
end tell
</font>
