Hello fellows scripters,



 
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
	set mySelection to selection 
	set myClass to class of mySelection  


If the selection is a text inside a cell of a table, myClass = insertion point 1 of cell id 5 of table id 242 of text frame id 162 of page id 119 of spread id 114 of document "test-1"

Now, from this, how can I know if the selection is a table?
myClass = "insertion point" and not "cell", not "table", ...

If I use

 
set myClass to parent of item 1 of mySelection 


myClass becomes: cell id 1 of table id 242 of text frame id 162 of page id 119 of spread id 114 of document "test-1"

Do I analyze the string ?
Another way to find this ?

TIA

Olivier.
