Here you go:

on mouseUp
  LaunchSafari "http://www.ibm.com/"
end mouseUp

on LaunchSafari pDestPage
  put "<html><head></head><body onload=" & quote & \
      "javascript:document.location='" into tScript
  put tScript & pDestPage & "'" & quote & ";></body><html>" into tScript
  set the fileType to "TEXTsfri"
  put specialFolderPath("temp") & "/launcher.html" into tLauncherFile
  put tScript into url("file:" & tLauncherFile )
  get shell("open" && tLauncherFile)
  -- need to delay the delete so there's time for Safari to open the file
  send "delete file" && quote & tLauncherFile & quote to me in 5 seconds
end LaunchSafari
