HTML Tag Tree -noob question

Post by GreenTrees »

I've been evaluating the program for the last 3 days, I really like it and as an HTML coder will probably purchase and use it in preference to DreamWeaver. The one thing I can't find though which I miss from dW is the ability to be able to click in a part of some code and see the tags that have lead up to that particular part ie <body> <div#wrapper> <div #header> <form> <input#searchBox>

Is this facility in the program somewhere please ?

I think I know what you mean, like either a breadcrumbs style display at the top of the page or a folder-tree style breakdown of previous code. Unfortunately there is no such feature I am aware of in WeBuilder/HTMLPad.

Hi reacher,

Thanks for getting back to me, I can stop searching for it now!

Yes in dW it's just like a breadcrumb trail, it sits below the edit window showing the tag & it's ID / Class, clicking any item in the tree highlights all the code contained within that tag which is useful in itself plus you can choose to collapse that area of code in the edit window by clicking a little '-' symbol - useful if you are working on a footer hiding the code you are not interested in anymore. Plus glancing at the list can help track down glitches in your CSS. It's similar to that which appears at the bottom of the Element Inspector in Chrome.

Put in a feature request (if you haven't already). It would be a nice addition to the software.
