like to use a little function like this that allows for tree traversals on Indesign DOM, the only thing you would have to do is write a javascript line like so. Overly complex but this function has saved my alot of time recreating the wheel.
//Set invocation
invokeFunctionOnNode(parentNode,function(node)
{
if(node.markupTag.name == "ART_PRICE")
{
node.contents = "0.0";
}
});
/*
=================================================
function recurses each node in the DOM and calls the anonymous method
function should have a single value of the node
=================================================
* / function invokeFunctionOnNode(parentNode, func) {
var pNode = parentNode;
//Call on Parent Node
func(pNode);
var elementCount = 0;
try{
elementCount = pNode.xmlElements.length;
}catch(ex){}
if (elementCount > 0) {
var ctr = 0;
for (var elem = 0 ; elem < elementCount; elem++) { var currentNode = pNode.xmlElements.item(elem); func(currentNode); try { if (currentNode.xmlElements.length > 0) {
invokeFunctionOnNode(currentNode, func) ;
}
} catch(ex) {}
}
}
}
