Where can I found a definitive list of JavaScript operators accepted by ExtendScript Editor

As a JavaScript Newbie (but not a newbie programmer!) I am finding it difficult to find out which JavaScript operators are accepted by ther ExtendScript Editor. I have the latest copy of David Flanagan's JavaScript Pocket reference (I never look in the Browser part of the reference) but frequently I find a useful command that is not accepted by the Editor. The lack of an appropriate reference is considerably slowing me up.

To JJMack & FrameExpert.

I have two apologies to make:

1. I forgot to mention "FrameMaker".

2. The incorrect command was miss-spelt!

However my original question, slightly modified, still stands. Can I assume that all the operators in the Flanagan's book are valid for the ExtendScript Editor.

Very many thanks for the prompt replies.

Bob


Just to put a tidy end to the discussion after further thought:

Use any recent JavaScript Reference - if the operator is valid the ExtendScript Editor will turn the word blue if not the operator is invalid or misspelt - the editor will also stop when it reaches an invalid operator.
