which page is my table row on?

[Guest]

Hi there

I have a large table that spans many pages in overflowing to different text frames.

How can i tell which page a row is on.. i have tried the following

function PageRowIsOn(row) //yes i do correctly pass a table row
{
    var table = row.parent;
    var frame   = table.parent;
    var pageIndex= frame.parent.index;   
    return pageIndex;
}

but it always returns 0.

So i was wondering if someone can point me in a better direction

cheers

try this code:  return row.cells[0].texts[0].parentTextFrames[0].parent.name (or index)

Try the below code return the page object

function getPage(theObj)
{
     if (theObj.constructor.name == "Page") return theObj;
     if (theObj.constructor.name == "Character")
      return getPage(theObj.parentTextFrames[0]);
     if (theObj.constructor.name == "Application")
     {
          // Frame is on an unexpected place...
          alert ("Can't able to find the page");
          //exit(0);
     }
     return getPage(theObj.parent);
}

Hi Arivu,

Your code will give you wrong page no. if your table continued on next page.

Just select one row of reflowed table on second page and run your code. It will give you page no. from which page table is start.

This code work well if you have selected a row.

row.cells[0].texts[0].parentTextFrames[0].parent.name
