Is it possible to create HTML element on document?

[Evan35230914qjbh]

can we create a visual layout that looks like the UI shown in the image within an InDesign document using ExtendScript? It seems that I can’t find any API to create an HTML-like element.

Maybe try radioButtons. I don’t know whether and if so, how, they appear when you export them to HTML though.

Hi, I am new to ExtendScript. I tried the radioButtons, but it does not look like what we normally see radioButton in HTML.

Do you want just visual effect - or functionality? 

[Evan35230914qjbh]

I just want to render the UI as the visual effect and export the InDesign file to PDF. Thank you

I'd simply use styles to create the components and effects. Not sure why a 'live function' approach is needed. (Actually, to be honest, I'd probably use Illustrator, although I'm not bad at technical illustrations in ID...)

'live function' is not needed.

[James Gifford—NitroPress]

Right—so use the 'dead function' of just drawing what you want this panel to look like. Building a whole script to build a 'live' interface panel so you can take a picture of it seems... overly complicated.
