Hiliting Tag Blocks - Spider Writer Suggestions and Support Forum

The latest build of this product (v5.2.0) was released 24 years ago, which was before this thread was created.

Is there a way to hilite a whole tag block? The current tool only hilites from the open tag to the next closing tag, not the mating closing tag. The hilite misses much of the tag block if there are nested blocks, such as nested tables or frames. Debugging pages would be a lot easier, particularly with a bunch of nested blocks.

Thanks.

Does it work ok if you put the cursor within the start tag and then do Select Tag Block?

Sorry for the delay.

I place cursor in start tag and select from right-click-list to hilite current block. It only hilites to the NEXT ending tag, not the end of the block matching the start tag. For example:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr><td>xxx</td></tr>
</table>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

With the cursor in the first <table> and calling for a block hilite, only the lower case tags are included, not the CAPS. The block stops at the first </table>, not the actual table block end.

That's my problem..

Good catch Bill... we'll mark this down as a bug.
