Timothy,

The problem you are having has to do with the fact that you don't have 
an open page in the browser to refresh. So, just as the "Refresh in 
Safari" command, you need to load the page you are working on in the 
browser first of all, and then the command will work.

However, in the greater good of all TM users, I have created the 
following scripts/commands: (available here: 
http://wiki.macromates.com/textmate/show/Howtos )

1. Preview in Browser:  Safari, Firefox and IE5

2. Reload Browser: Safari, Firefox, IE5 and All 3 browsers.


Enjoy !

Kind regards,

Mats
