I have been a programmer for years with PHP and a few other wonderful languages I am just entering the world of JavaScript because we are wanting to do some automation with Indesign. Scouring the inner webs as told me that Theunis de Jong AKA Jongware is the place to find my answers. I can tell by the answers that I have gleaned from all of the forums that this is true. What I can not for the life of me or the other 4 programmers that have been working with me is how to Decipher what we are looking at. I am so lost and would really appreciate being pointed in the direction of how to learn scripting for Indesign.
