InDesign CS5 Script: How can I ignore the DTD when importing XML?

Question

I am importing XML into InDesign, and I get this message:

The external entity \'blahblah.dtd\' cannot be found. Continue to import anyw

Answer 1

Ok, even simplier. We just have to prevent interaction and then remove any dtds attached:

function silentXMLImport(file)
{
    var doc, oldInteractionPrefs = app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel;

    if ( !(file instanceof File) || !file.exists )
    {
        alert("Problem with file : "+file );
    }

    if ( app.documents.length == 0 )
    { 
        alert("Open a document first");
        return; 
    }

    //Prevent interaction and warnings
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
    doc = app.activeDocument;
    doc.importXML ( file );

    //Remove any dtd attached to the document
    doc.dtds.everyItem().remove();

    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = oldInteractionPrefs;
}

//Now import xml
silentXMLImport ( File ( Folder.desktop+"/foobar.xml" ) );

It's working here.
