1st paragraph |
Hi,
On page 8, the book says to type the following:
app.selection[0]
... into a the ESTK, after creating a document with a text box and highlighting some of that text. I did this, and nothing happens. In the bottom left corner there is a message that says "undefined is not an object". In the JS Console, I see "Script Executed."
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Tom

code example under Reserved Words and Escape Characters |
the example:
> myInsertionpoint.contents = "Lovely day, isn\"t it?";
should be:
> myInsertionpoint.contents = 'Lovely day, isn\'t it?';
because the contraction is not formed with a double quote, and the following paragraph refers to this example for escaping a (single) quote, then adds \" for a double quote.
There is no problem using the unescaped single quote if the enclosing quotes for the string are double. Perhaps another text would make a better example if the usual practice is to use double quotes as text delimiters:
> myInsertionpoint.contents = "She said, \" What a lovely day!\"";

code block at page bottom |
Incorrect code in sample function "format_table(myTable)":
1 - The two calls to applyStyle() should be to applyParagraphStyle() instead.
2 - In last two lines (on page 61) the variable "tbl" should be "myTable".
Note from the Author or Editor:
Page 60, code: replace "applyStyle" with "applyParagraphStyle" (twice, without quotes)
Page 61, last two lines of code at top of page: replace
tbl.rows.everyItem ().firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset
tbl.spaceBefore = tbl.spaceAfter = 0;
with
myTable.rows.everyItem ().firstBaselineOffset = FirstBaseline.leadingOffset;
myTable.spaceBefore = tbl.spaceAfter = 0; |
