Inserting code from a form generating tool is old hat too. :-) No one ever said MS couldn't put together other people's ideas in a nice-looking package... ;-) Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

Da Scott: Inserting code from a form generating tool is old hat too. :-) ...as a one-way ("form generating tool" --> code) process, but making it two-way: Edit the properties in code, and the "generated" form changes to reflect your changes. No no no, I'm not saying he "innovated" that in C# -- this was way back in Delphi 1, in 1994. (If MS can't get at other people's ideas any other way, they just buy the people.) Christian R.

Can I add it to an existing, compiled product like HomeSite? Or is it only used to add the component to a new product you're writing? HomeSite does allow me to select the code editor of my choice, but I'm pretty sure I need an executable to point it at. === I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make.

I can just brute force it in the html.properties file, but I'd much rather have something more user-friendly. Does such a beast already exist, or do I have to write it? === After further evaluation ... It needs more fine-grained hilighting, too. It treats all HTML tags the same. You can't have table tags colored differently from other types of tags, for instance. And in PHP there is only one type of keyword, rather than reserved words and functions. It looks like these should be doable, but the source is too dense for me to figure it out. And other things are close enough that I don't have a compelling reason to learn C++ just to add it to this. === I can't be a Democrat because I like to spend the money I make.

Wonderful for hiding great slabs of COBOL code. :) "Ah, the good old days," he said, getting all misty-eyed... On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.
