Question posted in 
I’ve got some code with the ScriptListner plugin for Photoshop. I’m trying to use the “document.getElementById('id').path = 'some path'” with ExtendScript, which is actually just modified JavaScript (as far as I know) but Photoshop JavaScript engine does not seem to support that.
I’ve tried to change the ‘document’ with ‘app.activeDocumnt’ but that’s not helping
function BuildContactSheet(sourceeFolder) {
var idzeroBsevenoneDtwotwooneFeightCEoneonedtwoBtwooneBzerozerozeroeightCsevenfiveBthreetwotwoC = stringIDToTypeID("0B71D221-F8CE-11d2-B21B-0008C75B322C");
var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idCSIISettings = stringIDToTypeID("CSIISettings");
desc2.putString(idCSIISettings, ""
"<ContactSheetIISettings> <
source id = "outPathsrc"
imageSource = "Folder"
path = "e"
includeSubfolders = "false"
groupImages = "false" / >
<
document units = "inches"
width = "1.5"
height = "2.4"
resolution = "150"
resUnits = "pixels/inch"
mode = "RGB Color"
bitDepth = "8-bit"
colorProfile = "sRGB IEC61966-2.1"
flattenLayers = "true" / >
<
thumbnail place = "across first"
cols = "1"
rows = "4"
bestFit = "false"
useAutospacing = "false"
horz = "0.039 in"

<
caption enabled = "false" >
<
font name = "ArialMT"
size = "12" / >
<
/caption> < /

" );
var idMsge = charIDToTypeID("Msge"); desc2.putString(idMsge, ""
"Settings for Contact Sheet II"
""); activeDocument.getElementById("outPathsrc").path = sourceeFolder;
executeAction(idzeroBsevenoneDtwotwooneFeightCEoneonedtwoBtwooneBzerozerozeroeightCsevenfiveBthreetwotwoC, desc2, DialogModes.NO);
}This code code should have worked and changed the source folder according to the argument that I pass in the function but that does not work. Instead it shows the following error:
Error 1302: No such element Line: 113 activeDocument.getElementById("outPathsrc").path = sourceeFolder;
EDIT :
I previously tried this and it worked,I was able to pass argument to the function!

.getElementByIdis a html DOM method, photoshop doesn’t support it. You can check https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/photoshop/pdfs/photoshop-cc-javascript-ref-2019.pdf to see what methods are supported. Alao you can’t really mix photoshop DOM and action manager code (a lower-level code you’re getting from scriptlistener).I’m not 100% sure what you’re trying to do, but if you’re talking about paths as in file paths, this would be an example of reading the contents of a folder:
If you’re trying to get the path to the active document, that’s
app.activeDocument.pathAs Sergey said, altering script listener code can be pretty fiddly.
