HTMLPad: Display a List of Anchors/ID's

[ken_webster]

Hi:

I use a lot of IDs as 'bookmarks' within a page, and a really nice feature would be to be able to see a list of IDs/named anchors that exist in the current page. There are three places where this could be displayed:

1. In the Code Explorer.
2. In the Inspector, in the dialog for the href attribute if the current item is an <a>; tag. It would be great if a dropdown list was updated to include all the IDs/names in the current page.
3. Likewise, if I invoke the Hyperlink dialog by clicking on the Hyperlink button in the toolbar, or menu Insert > Hyperlink (CTRL+K), then click on the Bookmark Hyperlink tab, click on the Link to Bookmark radio button, I would love to see a dropdown list for all the IDs/names in the current page, too.

This would make it much easier to accurately specify the destination for a hyperlink.

Thanks for all your efforts in making this such a great application! I frequently recommend it.

I would like to see WeBuilder support real-time calls between the CSS and the HTML file, so when I create a class or id in the CSS it will automatically be available in the dropdown menu for the linked HTML file. like TSW WebCoder does:

Good call. I didn't notice that the functionality for classes wasn't correspondingly supported for ID's! That would be a great feature, too.
