By "highlighted" do you mean they're colored? There are a couple problems with having the DOM methods 'colored' via syntax coloring. First, they're not really a built-in part of the language. That's not a very strong argument against it, though. Second, you can create your own functions and methods with exactly the same names as those in the DOM API, and there would be no way for BBEdit to tell the difference. They'd all be colored. That certainly wouldn't make it any easier to spot bugs. (I have a javascript library with a number of object methods that have identical names to those in the DOM API, and I know I'm not the only one.) Now, having said all that, it might be handy if there were a way (even a "hidden pref") to activate and deactivate syntax coloring for the DOM API in JavaScript. Maybe. Or even a separate language, like JavaScript DOM, that you could choose from the language popup. Seth -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request?
