how tho check if selection is any kind of text:

[Vamitul]

ok.. another question:

how tho check if selection is any kind of text:

    if (app.documents.length != 0 && app.selection.length != 0 && 
     (app.selection[0].constructor.name=="Text"||app.selection[0].constructor.name=="Paragraph")) 

but sometimes selection is "textStyleRange", sometimes is "character" etc. is there any shortcut to check everything at once?

I usually do something like this:

if ( app.documents.length && app.selection.length && app.selection [ 0 ].hasOwnProperty ( 'baseline' ) )
     alert ( "It's a text!" );

Hope that helps.
