natimage Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 Some time ago, I came across a particular keystroke(s) that I cannot for the life of me remember. The keystroke allows you, in code view, to start at a particular tag to check and see if all your closing tags are there. I think... Does this sound familiar to anyone? I sure had an occasion to use it the other night when I knew I had a tag problem somewhere but couldn't find it!!! Thanks! Quote
cloudrm Posted January 28, 2004 Posted January 28, 2004 I just run the tag inspector, and "clean up" under "commands". Like I said, I have more questions than answers. Quote
Alan Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 Hey < natimage >, Not sure which hotkey it would be, but try reading about it @ macromedia's website, or e-mail the support address. The way I do it myself, is open up a .txt file and use the "Find All" and type in the ending codes, and make sure they are all there while I clean up my HTML by hand. I just use dreamweaver to do the design, and then go in and delete all the unneeded code and stuff out of the HTML code before I upload it to my server. Quote
cloudrm Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 I've never had any luck with macromedia support. But perhaps that's because, after paying over $1000.00 for a program(s) I don't feel that I should have to purchase another support package just to have simple questions that aren't in the manual answered. and yeah, you would think it would be easy to find the info on a hotkey, but no. $0.02 Quote
natimage Posted January 29, 2004 Author Posted January 29, 2004 Yes...I hate going to the Macromedia site! It's slow...very slow usually, and their forums are hard to read...not eyeball friendly!! Anyway...I'm sure I'll come across it at some point. I do a lot of messing with code, so I'm comfortable doing that, but I had three or four nested tables the other day with a problem that I couldn't find. I found the missing " seconds before I went cross-eyed!! The keystroke I'm referring to would not have helped me find that...but it sure would have helped me know whether or not I had a missing table, td or tr tag!! Sometimes I think I've reached the maximum allowable limit of knowledge in my brain WAY before I should have!!! woooot Quote
cloudrm Posted January 29, 2004 Posted January 29, 2004 I know how you feel. . .my brain is full. . .seems like everyday I add new information I lose a little more from the backend. 1965 is nearly gone . . . & unfortunately there's no defrag or backup. Quote
natimage Posted January 30, 2004 Author Posted January 30, 2004 I think I found the answer to what I was thinking of...but not the answer I wanted. Their is a keyboard shortcut, >CTRL' that allows you to "Balance Braces". Braces meaning {} and () in php. What it does is highlight the text between two braces, making it easier to tell if there is one missing. I knew I wasn't crazy, but I was off a little bit. Maybe this will help someone out there who does a lot of php coding in DWMX... Quote
