[Xerte] Some simple Qs and comments

[Tenney Julian]

Look into XMLNode.getChildByID(id) and XMLNode.index() to discover the
page number of the page on the framework you want to jump to. In the
help, look on the Prototype Extensions page:

So in a script in a page on a framework you can:

//get the FW we are in
myFW = icon.getParentByType('FW');

//find the page you want to jump to
myPage = myFW.getChildByID('id');

//find it's index
myNum = myPage.index();

//jump to it
myFW.gotoPage(myNum);

Fred,

I don't know of a way to navigate to a specific page id. The only method
I've found to navigate to a specific page is to reference the framework
id and the page number from the id.pages() array. Perhaps Julian can
confirm that.

Cheers

Paul
