Quick Java Script for indesign question.

[cbishop01]

Will normal java code work in indesign?  For example if i find a good bit of code i want to incorporate in indesign scripts?

Yes, with the following exceptions:

1. No browser-specific code. (i.e. no document,window, etc.)

2. No modern Javascript features will work. ExtendScript uses an older version of SpiderMonkey under the hood. Stick to ECMAScript 4.

It's worth noting that ExtendScript supports E4X, so XML is a first-class citizen.
