AppleScript to Javascript

Question

What is the equivalent below code in Javascript? Is this apple script convertable to java script?

tell application "Finder"
    activate
    set position of Finder window 1 to {607, 276}
    close Finder window 1
end tell

Thanks.

I want to run this code by JavascriptCore framework. Is it possible? I am Windows programmer and beginner in Mac. — mh taqia

check out JSTalk, as linked above by @inkedmn – it’s built on top of JavascriptCore. Just out of interest: why do you want to use JavaScript for this? — kopischke

Because Javascript is public and popular and I am familiar with it. Can I do Scripting InDesign CS4, CS5, ... with js talk? How I can reference Application Object? and can I use it in carbon apps? Tnx — mh taqia

The equivalent of your code would be:

var finder = Application('Finder');

finder.activate();
finder.windows[0].position = {x: 607, y: 276};
finder.windows[0].close();
