Tables - Row Height and Cell Insets

i working on ascript following:

 

1. set first row of tables in doc these settings:

• row height = .25in
• top , bottom inset = .04in

 

2. set rest of cells these settings:

• row height = .12in
• top , bottom inset = .12in

 

here at:

 

 

app.activedocument.stories.everyitem().tables.everyitem().rows[0].height = ".25 in";

app.activedocument.stories.everyitem().tables.everyitem().rows[0].topinset = ".04 in";

app.activedocument.stories.everyitem().tables.everyitem().rows[0].bottominset = ".04 in";

 

 

for( x = 1; x < app.activedocument.stories.everyitem().tables.everyitem().rows.length; x++ ) {

app.activedocument.stories.everyitem().tables.everyitem().rows[x].height = ".12 in";

}

 

 

for( x = 1; x < app.activedocument.stories.everyitem().tables.everyitem().rows.topinset; x++ ) {

app.activedocument.stories.everyitem().tables.everyitem().rows[x].topinset = ".12 in";

}

 

 

for( x = 1; x < app.activedocument.stories.everyitem().tables.everyitem().rows.bottominset; x++ ) {

app.activedocument.stories.everyitem().tables.everyitem().rows[x].bottominset = ".12 in";

}

 

 

 

i keep getting error , stuck.

 

 

anyone see help?

 

thanks in advance.

there indeed closing parentheses on line in screenshot (but not in sample lines).

 

i wonder if construction

 

for( x = 1; x < app.activedocument.stories.everyitem().tables.everyitem().rows.length ; x++ ) { app.activedocument.stories.everyitem().tables.everyitem().rows[x].heig ht = ".12 in"; } 

 

every work ... for..loop expects simple end number, feed array of of individual tables' row lengths.

 

if indeed not work, turn script around. set of row heights , insets using

 

app.activedocument.stories.everyitem().tables.everyitem().rows.everyitem().topinset = ".12 in";

 

and after run lines top row adjustments.

 

(use "advanced editor" able set javascript syntax highlighting -- makes code ever more readable.)
