Verify prices with javascript

[cmoke73]

Hi.

It's just an idea, but is it possible to compare and verify whether two or more prices are correct (same)? There are many objects (items) on many pages, so I need a quick way to check the correctness of the prices. I wanted to do it with a script (javascript).
Can I combine two text frames (not a chain or anchored object!) to get a reference to each other?
Please take a look at the attached graphic. My minimum aim is to check prices with the same color. This is just a dummy! The original has no colored prices. 🙂 But character- and paragraph-styles.

Never mind, if you mean it is a stupid idea. Not that important. 😉

Sure it's possible, but not trivial. You could apply a script label to the cell with the price, and have the check price in a named nonvisible text frame on the page, then loop through the pages and say something like:

if (labeledCell.contents !== priceFrame.contents) { alert("Prices don't match"); }

Hi Brian

that sounds like a way I can start. 🙂 Thanks
