I'm going to be lazy and ask about this here, 'cause i don't even know what to call it – to look for it in the Editor :lol:

In one of the CC email announcements, it showed a screen view that looked similar to Firebug, but it was within the Editor. It looked like you could highlight parts of your code and then use this feature much like Firebug.

So, I just came across this:

...and thought; isn't this what the CC Editor does?

Are you referring to being able to click a div in the HTML and have the area in the page preview highlighted?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I had to go digging for the email. I guess it's not quite the same, the program (linked above) will display whatever code is associated with the element you click on, so you can edit css files for instance without leaving the html page.

"Instead of searching through the code, you can now simply click a webpage element in the preview to see its corresponding HTML code highlighted in the editor..."

It looks like CC is getting real close to that with the above (from the email announcement).

That's an interesting editor. Trouble is finding room on the desktop. Now where is my desktop I saw it the other day, now what do I get rid of. Decisions decisions. Glad I have a Terabyte back up, Sorry I bought a Terabyte back up. Can't help myself. Have to inspect. Thanks for heads up Paintbrush, something to keep me amused for a while. I guess it is true, you return to your childhood with age. I love these toys.
