Editor that can browse to point where you are editing?

[Debb]

Hi -

I am taking over a site from someone else and some of the pages are quite long. An editor usually allows one to edit html as well as browse the page. I wish I could find an editor that could

when I browse to a apecific point on the rendered page, let's say place my cursor on what I want to edit -

and then the editor part would scroll to the point in the html that writes that part of the page.

Does homesite, htmlkit, nvu, dreamweaver, etc. do this... this capability seems very worthwhile to me.

thank you

Hi Debb,

I'm using Dreamweaver and it does what you are looking for. The window can be set to display the mock up of the page or the html code, both in full screen. But the best part is that you can split the window to display a few lines of html in the top part and the mock up of the page in the bottom part. Wherever you click in the bottom part, be it text, picture, table, etc. the cursor in the html part will jump to the point in the code.

cheers

Dreamweaver and Contribute do this.

Even MS Frontpage allows you do edit pages in that way. You can highlight the area you wish to edit using WYSIWYG mode then switch to html view and the code will be highlighted that makes up the area you highlighted in editor mode.
