Tabbed View Src Idea
okay, so I do a lot of basic HTML/CSS/Javascript sites for people, as do a lot of people, and since HTML is so easy to learn and most people don't know PHP and so on, blah blah anyways.
while editing a page on my computer:
- right-click > view src
- notepad pops up
- edit/save
- back to IE, refresh
- back to notepad
- edit/save...
and so on, I had an idea. Since IE7 is using tabs, under you preferences/options where you can choose what program to view the source in (notepad, word...) also have "View in new tab". But not just view it, allow you to edit the code, then you can save it, switch back to the first tab and refresh (F5), or have a short cut so while you're still in the notepad tab you can just hit F6 or somthing and it will automatically save, switch to the page's tab, and refresh all at once. F6 again and it would then switch you back to the code to continue editing. Also have options for the display. So you can have a traditional notepad look (all black text, white background, no formatting, courier new, size 10), or one where the tags are colored differently or whatever other options you'd want to put in, allowing the user to change the font and so on.
anyways, that's the idea I just had, I'd really like to see this in IE. I honestly can't stand the way FF renders out pages, which is why I came here with my idea instead of there. let me know what you guys think.
