Unable to Extract Notes from Table Cells

Hi,

I am able to extract note contents from a story using the following code:

alert(app.activeDocument.stories[0].notes[0].texts[0].contents);

However, when I try to extract note contents from a table, it does not work:

alert(app.activeDocument.stories[0].tables[0].cells[0].notes[0].texts[0].contents);

Could someone guide me on the correct approach to extract notes from table cells in InDesign JavaScript?

Thanks!

Correct answer m1b

The notes are properties of text objects, so you must access the text of the cell:

alert(app.activeDocument.stories[0].tables[0].cells[0].texts[0].notes[0].texts[0].contents);

Cell is like a Story - so you need to use a reference to its text - .cells[0].texts[0] - anyway.
