[CS6][JS]XML cross-ref to InDesign hyperlinks

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I started something and I hope it might be of interest to somebody:

var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);

var myRoot = myDocument.xmlElements.item(0);

var myRefs = myRoot.evaluateXPathExpression("//ref");        //references element

var myFigs = myRoot.evaluateXPathExpression("//fig");        //figures element

var myXrefs = myRoot.evaluateXPathExpression("//xref");    //citations element

var myTagsToLink = [myRefs, myFigs];

createAllDest(myTagsToLink);

createLink(myXrefs);

//Loop through all tags that need to be referenced and call the

//function that will create the new hyperlink destination

function createAllDest(allTags){

    for(var i=0;i<allTags.length;i++)

    {

        try

        {

            createDest(allTags);

        }

        catch(e){}

    }          

}

function createLink(whatTag){

    for(var i=0;i<whatTag.length;i++)

    {

        try

        {

            var myContent = whatTag.texts[0];

            var myType = whatTag.xmlAttributes.itemByName("ref-type").value;

            var myDest = whatTag.xmlAttributes.itemByName("rid").value;

            myHyperlinkURL = myDocument.hyperlinkTextDestinations.itemByName(myDest);

            myHyperlinkSource = myDocument.hyperlinkTextSources.add(myContent);

            myDocument.hyperlinks.add(myHyperlinkSource,myHyperlinkURL,{name: myDest});

            //alert(myDest);

            if (myType == "bibr"){

                //alert("This is reference");

                myContent.appliedCharacterStyle = "ref-citation";

            }

            else if (myType == "fig"){

                //alert("This is figure");

                myContent.appliedCharacterStyle = "fig-citation";

            }

        }

        catch(e){}

    }      

}

// Create new hyperlink destination function

function createDest(whatTag){

    for(var i=0;i<whatTag.length;i++)

    {

        try

        {

            // select the text of the element

            var myContent = whatTag.texts[0];

            // get the id of the destination

            var myAtt = whatTag.xmlAttributes.itemByName("id").value;

            // add the id of the destination to the list of the document's text hyperlink destination

            var anchor = app.documents[0].hyperlinkTextDestinations.add(myContent);

            // set the text's hyperlink destination's name to that of the id

            anchor.name = myAtt;

            //alert(myContent);

        }

        catch(e){}

    }      

}
