Hello! I ran into a problem while doing some javascript with XML tags in InDesign CS2. The situation is as follows: I have a page layout of a business card. Each line of the business card is tagged and has their individual assigned font/spacing/size styles. It will look something like this in InDesign: =================================== [Jane Doe] [Assistant Manager] [ABC Comapany] [Tel] (123)456-7890 [Cel] (123)456-7890 [Email] janedoe@abc.com www.abccompany.com =================================== The [ ] denotes the tags in InDesign. What I want to do is: when the line [Cel] (123)456-7890 is deleted, for instance, the section need to move down a line to look like this (carriage return needs to be removed): =================================== [Jane Doe] [Assistant Manager] [ABC Comapany] [Tel] (123)456-7890 [Email] janedoe@abc.com www.abccompany.com =================================== My current script will remove the carriage return character and move the section down. However, it takes away all the XML tags and all the styles are gone. So I am wondering if there is a way to have JavaScript to control the XML tags so that they don't go away, and only the line that's deleted goes away. Thank you!!!
