Goto source file in an ASP include files

[clarkedesign]

When using a server side include statement in an ASP file it would be so handy to click on the link and for that file to open in the editor. I have used another similar editor and this is a fantasticly useful feature.

e.g.
<!--#include file="includes/functions.asp"-->

Clicking on the "includes/functions.asp" would open the file (if it exists) in the editor.

This just saves so much time - it saves having to find the file yourself in the file navigator and removes human error.

It would also be great to do the same on other file related links such as href="about.html" for example.

Thanks

I want to add my name to the users requesting this feature.

Clicking on the "includes/functions.asp" would open the file (if it exists) in the editor.

Also, it would be nice to do the same for linked style sheets. Click on the style sheet link and open the style sheet.
<LINK href="other/style.css" type=text/css rel=stylesheet>

Same for a linked javascript.

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

This would be very nice although I think it wouldn't be easy to implement it with documents edited directly from FTP connection

I just noticed that the Code Explorer Window lists Style Sheets and Scripts referenced in the ( .htm or .asp ) file and you can right click on the file name and choose Open and open the .css or .js file in the editor. This is almost as good as what we were asking for. It's good enough for me. It does not work for include files however, this would be a nice addition.

Trying this from a file opened via FTP would not work, of course. But, no one would expect it to.

I think Karlis has done a wonderful job on this new version of the program, I find myself using it more and more for HTML, ASP and CSS.

I intend to keep the editors fast and lightweight, thus I'm afraid this won't be possible with FTP, however, we can try option Open file at cursor in the code editor popup menu.

HI,

Just looking back at a very old post for right clicking and following the link to a source file when using ASP #include.

This still doesn't seem to be possible - can you check your todo list and let me know if this is still possible please.
