Script I'm working on

That url should demonstrate what I've got done so far....
The highlighted lines arent highlighted for any reason, just to demonstrate how the highlighting works....

anyone care to input some ideas to incorporate into the script?

Not bad..could be useful. The only thing I didn't like was the highlighting words being case sensitive (rtrim wouldn't highlight, but RTrim would).

Wow!! The line-numbers feature is great!
It would be marvelous to integrate that with the view source mod, and with the [code][/code] tags!

Line numbers are great if it don't interfere with the selection of code for copying into aranae or notepad or similar code/text editor.

My recommendations:

1. Use POST instead of GET in your form method.
2. Line up line numbers with actual text in code.
3. Don't use table cells for each line break. (personally I would use a concatenation of the line numbers and code, or <span>'s.)

I did something very similar to this with my display_source.asp script but never completed it. I got the idea from ASP101 or a similar site.

Found it...

Demo: http://www.hafresno.org/testing/vc.asp?source=../default_sub.asp&numbered=yes

I was going to incorporate searched highlighting with this script I found but never followed through with it. Here is the code to this script if you're interested

Source Code: http://www.hafresno.org/testing/vc.asp?source=vc.asp&numbered=yes

I liked this because of the security options, highlighting, line numbering and the ability to drill down on links within the script. In my demo link above, I blocked any scripts being viewed that were in the INCLUDES directory.

1. I want people to be able to link to files with highlighted code & stuff
2. they were lined up... I thought, but anyway now its different to where you can highlight the code without highlighting the line numbers
3. See 2.

Ok... got a problem for SOME oddball reason

source viewing script
The code highlighted is NOT working, and I've narrowed it down to this.

inAsp is somehow getting set to "False" when it should be "True", hence it not highlighting the code the way I want. However, I've looked it over and I cant find where to pinpoint the problem...

any ideas?

nevermind... got it working the way I want...

now to set the colors to something more readable... any suggestions? I tried doing bold colors without the background, but that offset the line numbers...

without the bold it wasnt really defined, so I threw in the black background, but now I feel its a bit much...

I wouldn't use background color for highlighting your keywords. I would just colorize the text itself, kind of like modern code editors... or the example I listed earlier.

Other than that, it's looking good.

With the help of (dayve) and good 'ol Webmonkey I got a decent (I think) color pattern down....

however, somehow in the process of doing this, I corrupted my "highlight" lines feature, which sucks cuz I liked that... and I cant seem to get it working again.
