Fast Java Script for indesign issue.

Normal java code will work in indesign?  For example, if I find a good bit of code I want to integrate into indesign scripts?

Yes, with the following exceptions:

1 no browser-specific code. (no document, window, etc.)

2. no modern Javascript features will not work. ExtendScript uses an older version of SpiderMonkey under the hood. Stick to ECMAScript 4.

It is worth noting that ExtendScript supports E4X, XML is a first class citizen.

  • Scripts for indesign

    Hi all.  I wonder if there is a script for indesign that allow me to put the file name / and identifiers of color at the bottom of the Document.  Also, who will all place me information where I want.  For ex...   I want to send a task to plates and rather than manually enter the name of the file - Date and time - and colors on the bottom of the plate/file.  I know that when I go to export a file or print a file it is check box to put the information on the file page and it does what I want however he put the information too low on the plate.  He added the information down into the corner of the plate area and receiving not Burnt or processed in this area.  I need a script to back up the information, if we read.

    Hi cbishop01,

    First of all, I would not recommend research by sending your files to Indesign as postscript, if your normal process is a PDF workflow. PostScript does not support some features on various output devices. When the postscript from Indesign, you can run into CMYK printing issues when dealing with PDF files and other works of art that contain some transparency effects and mixing modes that cannot be interpreted by the postscript or cannot flatten properly.

    My employer uses a script Indesign, we have developed which can be something similar to what you are looking to accomplish. If your plate is always the same size, you can create a model of tax file in Indesign with job info, color chart, date and time, and you want to integrate the model tax. You can use a script Indesign to automatically update the model every time that you print in PDF format (which can be done by adding a custom ease menu item).

    Plate files vary from a file in a file, you can convert the file name, time, blocks of color name text in an Indesign library item and drop it right in the position desired on each individual plate installation. You will not have to change these items, you will only place a group element where you want to go.

    Is this something that will work for you?

  • Java script for counting the text boxes

    I have 10 text boxes. Y at - it somehow I can create a java script for an eleventh text box so whenever you type a number into one of the 10 text boxes it adds the value 1. By example, if you typed a number to 4 number 4 text boxes come in box 11. I googled everywhere and I just can't understand the sense. Any help would be appreciated.

    Of course, it is possible. Let's say the text fields are called "Text1" to "Text10" and the last of them is called "Text11"

    Use this code as the custom Text11 computer code:

    var total = 0;
    for (var i=1; i<=10; i++) {
        if (this.getField("Text"+i).valueAsString!="") total++;
    }
    event.value = total;
    
  • Problem to find the Position of the cursor by using Java Script for an input TextField

    Hello

    I have a problem to find the position of the cursor in a field inputText component.

    The following code of java script to achieve. The same functionality works fine if I run in a simple html page. But when it is used the same javascript inside the jsff does not the position of the cursor.
    var adfComponent = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId("r1:1:it3");
    var adfComponentClientId = adfComponent.getClientId();
    var div = document.getElementById(adfComponentClientId + '::content');
    div.focus();
    var docSelectionRange = document.selection.createRange();
    
    docSelectionRange.moveStart ('character', -div.value.length);
    
    var iCaretPos = docSelectionRange.text.length;
    
    alert("iCaretPos --> "+iCaretPos);  ---> This statement always returning '0'. Instead, i want the cursor position inside the text box.
    Please let me know what I'm missing.

    For your reference, sending the sample page html that works fine with the same kind of code.
    <html>

         // Firefox support
         else if (oField.selectionStart || oField.selectionStart == '0')
           iCaretPos = oField.selectionStart;
     
         // Return results

       }

    ... had the chance to look at the source code of the sample. ADF Faces renders text as HTMLTextArea fields when the value of the rows property. The JavaScript code used in the example of client works differently for FF and IE if the input is a text box. This could be a problem in IE or just used JavaScript code. The rows back to a single line (remove) property makes the text as HTML input feldworking with the JavaScript for IE and FF.

  • Adobe DC Java Script for the population of conditional field

    I have to write a script in a form that will be contained in a text box and populated by one based on the user by checking a box

    Scenario of

    A form contains two sections, there are two sections Head Office information and accounts payable.  The user saves the headquarters address information for example the street address, city, province, PC, etc.  one moves to section 2 two to record accounts payable information.  The Department accounts payable may be located to one address which is not at the headquarters.  There is a check box labeled "same as headquarters" by checking the box that the user is to identify that this is the same address and I want the form automatically fill the street address, city, province, PC already filled in the section of headquarters.  If the user does not identify the address is the same as the location of the headquarters, the user must manually register the information.

    Is not not a technical developer I'm lost, I tried many sites.  I really miss adobe lifecycle designer and the previous method to create actions.  Help, please!

    My JavaScript to date (sorry it must look not so good):

    this.getField("Same").value;

    If (Same.value! = null) {APStreetAddress.value = HOStreetAddress.value}

    This kind of thing can become a little complicated depending on exactly how you want it behaves. It's simple if you only need the script that will be triggered when the check box is selected, in which case the script of mouse upwards to the box could be:

    Script mouse upwards to the box

    (function () {}

    Do nothing if this check box cleared ix.

    If (event.target.value = 'Off') return;

    Copy the values from the previously filled (probably) the text for the other fields.

    getField("APStreeAddress").value = getField("HOStreeAddress").valueAsString;

    getField("APCity").value = getField("HOCity").valueAsString;

    getField("APPostalCode").value = getField("HOPostalCode").valueAsString;

    Add code to the other fields here

    })();

    Just be sure to use the names of real field.

  • Java Script issues

    Hi all

    IM developing a Memorial Web site and I would like to use the jQuery plugin noble County http://tpgblog.com/noblecount/on this page of the site http://www.milesmemorials.com/Product-GH54.html. As you can see there is a text box for the "wording" where customers can enter in what they would like to have engraved on the headstone. The first hundred letters are included in the price (total operation are calculated and displayed at the bottom of the page "grand_total"), all the letters after that have the price indicated by letter according to the type of engraving they chose (see the drop letters engraved for price per letter). The plug in I want to use is to display the number of letters in the textarea as they are typed. When 100 characters are typed there will be a color change to warn customers, then I need some sort of function to multiply the remaining characters (if there is) by the amount required by the letter (dictated by the engravings options) to be added to the box grand_total.

    BUT! Im having problems with this development, as I have very limited knowledge of Java script. Is there someone who can help me with this? I understand its quite complex and am happy to pay someone produce the Java Script for me.


    $("textarea").val($("textarea").val() + " " + verse);
    

    should be

    $("#textarea").val($("#textarea").val() + " " + verse);
    

    Also delete this old writing of yours as this is obsolete:

    $(window).load(function(){
        function putIt(e) {
        $("#textarea").val(e.target.value);
       }
       $("#verse_inscriptions").on("change", putIt);
    });

  • Need help to create a Script for the labelling of Finder of Indesign files

    Try to find a way to have a script run in InDesign CS4, who tagged a RED text file once it's been imported into InDesign.

    Import multiple text files in an InDesign template. Since there are several text files in the same folder, it must somehow 'delineate' that we have imported this file and move to the next import. I created a 'service' with a keyboard shortcut Automator to label the Red file in the finder, but it would be great if we could have this occurs automatically after we imported in InDesign.

    If import us the text wrong by accident and it gets missed in fermentation, it costs us a lot of money with the printer.

    Thanks for all the ideas.

    Jim

    At its heart, it's what you want to do.

    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
         set placeFile to choose file
         tell active document
              tell selection
                   --Assumes you have preselected the picture or textbox to place file in
                   place placeFile
              end tell
         end tell
    end tell
    tell application "Finder"
         set label index of placeFile to 2
    end tell
    

    You can expand on it pretty easily. The script for InDesign dictionary must be in the Library palette in the Applescript editor and the docs for Applescript are all online.

    If you need further assistance, you may wish to ask someone to write a complete script for you to spec for real moneyz.

    Best o ' luck!

  • What snap is "Java Script"?

    Suddenly this morning I receive a message that Java Script is not enabled. I am not able to access Yahoo! mail, Gmail or iCloud mail. When I search for "Java Script" I get 300 + add-ins, the top 50, or appear not to be simply Java Script. What is the exact name of a supplement Java Script that will allow me to use my e-mail programs?

    JavaScript is not an add-in, but a language like basic, C, java and so on. It is often used on web pages to create dynamic effects like the movement of the figures and similar effects. Therefore, it is included in the HTML itself. For various reasons you might want to disable the ability to run java scripts, for example for security reasons and in older versions of Firefox, there is an option in the settings were you could turn on or off the ability to run these scripts. Nowadays, this option is removed, but is included in those more hidden that reach you by writing about: config in the address bar. If you do, you will get a warning "This might void your warranty!" and after clicking on the I'll be careful, I promise!-button you will enter the words: config page. Research of javascript.enabled, which is normally set to true. Double-click this line after selection, press enter on the keyboard and the value is going to switch from the other value, false.
    However, you may have loaded an add-on that blocks java script. I can imagine there are a lot of them. One that I use is NoScript, which allows me to choose individually what web sites I will allow running scripts in java on my computer, and who I would not deny this. Take a look of the modules you have loaded, so maybe one of them can block the ability of java script.

  • DoubleClick, banners, java script and size K

    I made the banner flash for 10 years and now trying (in vain) to make banners with adobe edge. I say useless is because of the k 100 javascript files that are associated with the project. Whoever does the banner 300 x 250, 728 x 90, 300 x 600, etc... knows that the typical k size is 30-50 kilobytes. This is not possible with the k size ads of java script for the project.

    DoubleClick Studio won't let not the dns files be hosted.

    Now I wonder if it is an archaic method of gauging the effect a banner on a website. My question is, java script should count towards the final size of a banner K? isn't it usually loading of images interested editors?

    A java script file k 100 takes the same bandwidth to load a picture on the site? I don't know how I could convince these large entities to change how they view the data sheet but if as I suspect it java script should not be grouped in the same category the images then maybe I can convince someone to change the specifications and divide into 'images' and 'java script' large kilobyte.

    Any related object on the details of the page should have an 'Add' or 'New' or the two default buttons - it of a vanilla feature and will do the required action.

    If you want to change this behavior and do something delicate you will potentially have to to go for javascript. You must add the javascript code in a web custom tab on this object.

    Admin--> Application Customization--> Contact--> Applet Web Contact

    Now add your javascript in the code box, after selecting the type = HTML for this web applet, expose this web applet on the Contact details page layout and your javascript will be called every time this page is loaded.
