Hi Chris, Line numbering in a Results window is apparently coming in the new Editor, but like John pointed out - it's not for the purpose of aiding debugging of 'client-side' errors.
The new Line numbering is for Witango 'server-side' errors because the new Meta-Stack trace feature for errors in v5 now includes a Line number reference to the Metatag line that caused the error. A brilliant feature. If you need a little help with 'client-side' debugging (on Windows), I recommend Microsoft's Script Debugger: http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?u rl=/msdn-files/027/001/731/msdncompositedoc.xml (Above URL may word-wrap). It won't tell you where in your Witango code to look, but it does show you the HTML 'view-source' with line numbers (in the Status Bar) and does have some helpful messages about JavaScript errors, plus provides break and step features for debugging JavaScript. Once it's installed, then you need to activate it by un-checking 'Disable script debugging' in your Internet Options / Advanced Settings of MSIE. Hope this helps.

Line numbers would be reletave to the taf, and would not help you find that position reported by IE or Netscape when it encounters an error in the resulting HTML sent to the browser. > > /John > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Chris Smith > To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk > Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 8:51 PM > Subject: Witango-Talk: Line Numbers in the gutter > > > Just wondering if any one else wished there was a feature in in Witango to display line numbers in the gutter and maybe even a Go to... line feature. I use this feature a great deal in other programs and it is extremely useful and a real timesaver when debugging jscript errors. > csmith > ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body
