[Xerte] Using getPageIndex() to fill an array

[Julian Tenney]

It won't conflict as only one of those frameworks is active at anyone
time. It might have been better named as 'currentFramework'

Yes, thanks Julian. The framework ID is 'fw' so using:

pagenum = fw.getPageIndex();

returns a different value for each page, so I can use code such as:

texts[pagenum] = icon.parentNode.clip().text;

to store user text from different pages in an array. There are four
frameworks in the application, all with the id "fw". Is this likely to
lead to conflict if I refer to fw in code in pages in each of these
frameworks, or are they all self-contained? Clear as mud that, I think.
I'll play around and see what happens. I can't rename the IDs as they're
referenced in other code buried away in interactions.

Cheers

Fred
