Hmm ok. I think what I'm getting at is that to really be useful, it ought to scan the document for <code> elements, then parse the text of these nodes, applying styles (or adding classed <span> tags or whatever) to the words based on a look-up of keywords, and syntax checking etc. This way, it truly could be used on any page that uses <code> to show code, and could be easily extended to allow users to specify which language to use (AS, Java, etc). Would make a nifty extension for Mozilla-based browsers, for instance. If you don't have all the skills to put together these pieces, would be a good project for SourceForge or something.
I think if you are relying on programmers to pretty-up their code listings in HTML, you arent gonna see much use, and also if programmers wanted to go to the trouble of doing this, would not be any real extra effort to write the CSS. _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
