Hi.
I am looking for some clarifications with syntax when coding for InDesign using Javascript. I constantly find myself using 2 or 3 different ways to use the code before I either find the correct way, or lookup and old script, or posting on here.
I generally have the right ideas, and am using the right functions, but at times try them in the wrong way.
For example:
why is this written...
app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].screenMode = ScreenModeOptions.PREVIEW_TO_SLUG;
where this is written:
myDoc.allPageItems[n].fit(FitOptions.frameToContent);
and at times options are applied using
...({xxxxxx:zzzzzz},{aaaaa:yyyyy})
I feel I have been using this long enough to know this, but I dont. Maybe if I had a good founding in Javascript before my fiddling with Indesign Javascript I would know the answers.
All I am looking for is a quick tip on how to use the correct form of code.
Sorry to bother, but I would like to get my head these principles.
Roy
