Just my opinion but why not let your command do this instead?  you 
could pipe it to safari or end in `open -a Safari /tmp/error_test.html`

While I'm at it .. I would also vote to not put too much development 
into WebPreview since Safari is only a command-tab + command-R away.... 
unless there was a feature like SubEthaEdit that did WebPreview in 
realtime as you type.
