HTML Inspector Suggestions based on DOCTYPE

Post by jahwz »

HTMLPad and/or WeBuilder 7.2.0.68

When the inspector lists available attributes for an HTML tag I am editing, it doesn't seem to consider the DOCTYPE. For instance, in a <div> tag, align is not a valid attribute for HTML 4.01 Strict, but is for 4.01 Transitional.

Is it possible to have the Inspector list attributes only valid for the DOCTYPE specified in the currently loaded document? Or at least a switch on the Inspector panel so that only valid suggestions are offered?

It does look at the document type, however Transitional/Strict/Frameset are not distinguiished, because that would be too detailed, at least nobody has ever requested this.

Well, I can certainly understand that implementing something like this would be a major task. Before HTMLPad (Webuilder), I have never even tried to make use of the inspector console. Since this is the first major update to my editor in quite some time, I decided to give it a try. I imagine there is no other editor that makes this distinction either. Bottom line, I don't expect or really need this, though it would make the inspector much more useful IMHO... I will however settle for more HTML syntax highlighting options (form, img, etc) :wink:
