Hi,

you can try the following lines:

var curDoc = app.activeDocument;
if ( app.selection.length != 1 ) {
    ( alert ( "Something wrong with your selection!" ) );
    exit();
    }
var curSel = app.selection[0];
var curPage = curSel.parentPage;
var rO = curDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin;
if (rO != 1380143215) {
    curDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = RulerOrigin.pageOrigin;
}
var pW = curDoc.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
var y1, x1, y2, x2;
if ( curPage.side == PageSideOptions.leftHand ){
    x2 = curPage.marginPreferences.left;
    x1 = curPage.marginPreferences.right;
}
else {
    x1 = curPage.marginPreferences.left;
    x2 = curPage.marginPreferences.right;
}
x2 = pW - x2;
var gB = curSel.geometricBounds;
// fit to margins
gB[1] = x1;
gB[3] = x2;
curSel.geometricBounds = gB;
// fit to page
/* gB[1] = 0;
gB[3] = pW;
curSel.geometricBounds = gB; */
curSel.fit ( FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT );
resetAsBefore();
function resetAsBefore() {
    if ( rO != 1380143215 ) {
            curDoc.viewPreferences.rulerOrigin = rO;
    }
}

Everything in /* */ will not executed. So at the moment your selection will fit to the page margins. If you put the lines under // fit to margins in /* */ and delete those under // fit to page, your textframe will fit to the page.

Hi,

the script is not wrong. You get, what you showed in your screen: One frame that fits either to the type area or to the bounds of the page.

If you want to select more than one frame or want to change all frames in a story, this is probably also possible, but: If you draw your frames correct from the beginning, in most cases there is no need for aligning them afterwards.

I've moved your question to the scripting forum. I think you'll get more help here.
