Error when trying to get the URL of a page in a Google Apps Script

Question

I am writing a Google Apps Script to be embedded into Google Sites to retrieve the names and URLs for child pages of the current page. When I call the getURL() function I am getting the following error:

'TypeError: Cannot find function getURL in object WebPage.'

My code is as follows:

function doGet() {

    var app = UiApp.createApplication();

    var pages = SitesApp.getActivePage().getChildren();

    for (var i = 0; i < pages.length; i++) {
        Logger.log(pages[i].getURL());
    }

    return app;
}

I am new to Google Apps Scripts so am struggling to work out what this means. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use pages[i].getUrl()

You should use the autocomplete feature in the script editor to avoid such typing errors (control space after the dot : page[i].here type CTRL space and you'll see all possible methods...)

Note : the general rule in javascript is to use the so called camelCase format : getRange, createLabel ... there are only a few exceptions like setHTML but every rule must have exceptions doesn't it ?
