Hi All,

I want to rename attribute in the indesign document. I have not found any reference in this forum.

Below is the attribute appear in the structure palette in the Indesign Document:

//news[@north=n01]

And want to change above line to:

//news[@south=n01]

Only want to change attribute name not value.

Need help.

Thanks,

Mon

Correct answer absqua
var doc = app.activeDocument,
    elements = doc.xmlElements[0].evaluateXPathExpression("//news[@north='n01']"),
    i, l;
for (i = 0, l = elements.length; i < l; i++) {
    elements.xmlAttributes.item("north").name = "south";
}
