      JavaScript support. InDesign CS has a built-in ExtendScript (ECMA JavaScript-compliant)
      interpreter and debugger.




Wow, this means script runs "in process", yes? This should mean faster execution than external VB?

      You can create modal dialog




Can the new JS do floating pallet like function? Or must script run/exit to interact with app again?

      at the moment I'm just trying to get the new Scripting Guide and examples
      up




I assume this will include guide on JavaScript? Wow, that's triple work. I think you guys should drop *documenting* VB and AS and just concertrate on JS. But I'm sure I'll get flame on this.

Anyway, can't wait to see the new guide and ditch VB. Thanks!
