Object /Text Code Highlite Features

[hotwire]

Hello Forum,

This is only my 2nd post in this forum and I appreciate the moderators and users actions here in improving the many programs by Blumentals.

I hope it doesn't seem like I'm panting and requesting something more than the product's pricing, but how complicated or difficult would it be to implement a feature I see in a few web editors that actually allows the users to click on a visual oblect or text etc on the page you're working on, and have the block of coding for that webpage object you're clicking on be highlited?

In other words, if I am viewing the webpage I'm working on and click on a picture on that page, the block of coding for that picture will be highlighted in the coding section.

Thanks for any info on this..

I think this goes beyond the features they are trying to implement. For something like this you need a fully WYSIWYG editor, like Dreamweaver.

Its not got so much to do with wysiwyg, but in tying up the preview window with the code window. Due to the nature of the controls used, this feature isn't possible.
It has been mentioned before, and would certainly be a nice feature. I find it handy when using Firebug and saves scrolling around screen-fulls of HTML.

As chrisjlocke said, if there would be an easy way to add "click inside preview and it selects according HTML text in code editor", we would add it.
At the moment we have not found a solution for this yet.

also as chrisjlocke said, you can use firebug to do this. firebug shows you the line number when you inspect an element. alt+tab back to webuilder, hit ctrl+g to "go to" a line number and type it.
