Get current page number in InDesign CS5 from Javascript

Question

What is the DOM expression to get current page where the cursor is:

app.activeDocument.currentPage ?

Solution

You want:

app.activeWindow.activePage.name;

This will give you the actual page number name as a string (i.e. if your pages are numbered in roman then this will give 'v' for the fifth page).

Is it possible to get the index of the page and not the name ?
