How do I check if the associated PageItem is there/exists from a XMLElement ?

hi,

 

i have following structure:

 

• extension builder 1.5;
• indesign 5.0;
• image (rectangule frame);
• xml tag associated image.

 

the following scenario:

 

• i have application checks if strucuture available , intact, is, user has not deleted tag (xmlelement) and/or rectangule frame(pageitem);
• i not want loop through allpageitems (the page should have many of them - more 1000) , xmlelement;
• so, loop on xmlelements , associated pageitem through xmlelement.xmlcontent property;
• the document images properties (image, epss, etc) never populated (document.epss.length = 0);
• i can validate if tag deleted or untaged easy.

 

the problem:

 

• user deletes image/rectangule frame (pageitem) , keep xml tag (untag xmlelement);
• the isvalid property (xmlelement.isvalid = true) true;
• the associated pageitem becomes text , valid well;

 

the question:

 

• how do i check if the associated pageitem is there/exists from a xmlelement ?

 

regards
