Once you are working with a table containing XML elements, you can apply table styles and cell styles to
the XML elements directly, rather than having to apply the styles to the tables or cells associated with the
XML elements. To do this, use the
following script fragment (from the ApplyTableStyle tutorial script):
var myDocument = app.documents.add();
//Create a series of XML tags.
var myRowTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("row");
var myCellTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("cell");
var myTableTag = myDocument.xmlTags.add("table");
//Create a table style and a cell style.
var myTableStyle = myDocument.tableStyles.add({name:"myTableStyle"});
myTableStyle.startRowFillColor = myDocument.colors.item("Black");
myTableStyle.startRowFillTint = 25;
myTableStyle.endRowFillColor = myDocument.colors.item("Black");
myTableStyle.endRowFillTint = 10;
var myCellStyle = myDocument.cellStyles.add();
myCellStyle.fillColor = myDocument.colors.item("Black");
myCellStyle.fillTint = 45
//Add XML elements.
var myRootXMLElement = myDocument.xmlElements.item(0);
with(myRootXMLElement){
var myTableXMLElement = xmlElements.add(myTableTag);
with(myTableXMLElement){
for(var myRowCounter = 1;myRowCounter < 7;myRowCounter++){
}
with(xmlElements.add(myRowTag)){
myString = "Row " + myRowCounter;
for(var myCellCounter = 1; myCellCounter < 5; myCellCounter++){
with(xmlElements.add(myCellTag)){
contents = myString + ":Cell " + myCellCounter;
}
}
}
applyTableStyle
with(xmlElements.add(myRowTag)){
myString = "Row " + myRowCounter;
for(var myCellCounter = 1; myCellCounter < 5; myCellCounter++){
with(xmlElements.add(myCellTag)){
contents = myString + ":Cell " + myCellCounter;
}
}
}
