CHAPTER 12: XML Adding XML Elements to a Layout 176 var myDocument = app.documents.add(); //Create a series of XML tags. var myRowTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("row"); var myCellTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("cell"); var myTableTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("table"); //Add XML elements. var myRootXMLElement = myDocument.xmlElements.item(0); with(myRootXMLElement){ var myTableXMLElement = xmlElements.add(myTableTag); with(myTableXMLElement){ for(var myRowCounter = 1;myRowCounter < 7;myRowCounter++){ with(xmlElements.add(myRowTag)){ myString = "Row " + myRowCounter; for(var myCellCounter = 1; myCellCounter < 5; myCellCounter++){ with(xmlElements.add(myCellTag)){ contents = myString + ":Cell " + myCellCounter; } } } } } } var myTable = myTableXMLElement.convertElementToTable(myRowTag, myCellTag); // Add text elements. var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0); var myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.add({geometricBounds:myGetBounds(myDocument, myPage)}); var myStory = myTextFrame.parentStory; myStory.placeXML(myRootXMLElement); Once you are working with a table containing XML elements, you can apply table styles and cell styles to the XML elements directly, rather than having to apply the styles to the tables or cells associated with the XML elements. To do this, use the applyTableStyle and applyCellStyle methods, as shown in the following script fragment (from the ApplyTableStyles tutorial script): var myDocument = app.documents.add(); //Create a series of XML tags. var myRowTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("row"); var myCellTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("cell"); var myTableTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("table"); //Create a table style and a cell style. var myTableStyle = myDocument.tableStyles.add({name:"myTableStyle"}); myTableStyle.startRowFillColor = myDocument.colors.item("Black"); myTableStyle.startRowFillTint = 25; myTableStyle.endRowFillColor = myDocument.colors.item("Black"); myTableStyle.endRowFillTint = 10; var myCellStyle = myDocument.cellStyles.add(); myCellStyle.fillColor = myDocument.colors.item("Black"); myCellStyle.fillTint = 45 //Add XML elements. var myRootXMLElement = myDocument.xmlElements.item(0); with(myRootXMLElement){ var myTableXMLElement = xmlElements.add(myTableTag); with(myTableXMLElement){ for(var myRowCounter = 1;myRowCounter < 7;myRowCounter++){ with(xmlElements.add(myRowTag)){ myString = "Row " + myRowCounter; for(var myCellCounter = 1; myCellCounter < 5; myCellCounter++){ with(xmlElements.add(myCellTag)){ contents = myString + ":Cell " + myCellCounter;
