Zoom to the selection

Hi Scripters,

I have been looking for a way to javascript the zoom to fit the selected objects into the window, I have looked through the zoom styles but cannot find one that does this. I have tried the "Fit Selection in Window" menu item in InDesign but this zooms out a lot further than the selection so is no good for what I need.

Does anyone have a one liner solution or can point me in the direction of a script that does this that I can edit to fit my needs?

Many Thanks in advance, Bren

Fiddle with the zoomPercentage.

app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].zoomPercentage = app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].zoomPercentage;

Thanks for the reply,

Unfortunately this does a fixed percentage zoom and doesn't take into account the size of my current selection which changes every time the script is run.
