Hi, just got E Text Editor after 2 years using dreamweaver (i'm very exited).
Anyway I am working my way through its snippets section and customising them for personal preference etc, when i got to this one, and i have no idea what it does...
Its Called: PHP Error Catching Javascript
and it creates this code;


 <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
	/* <![CDATA[ */ function scanErrors() {
 	 
	 	 bolds = document.getElementsByTagName('b'); 
	 
	 	 for (index = 0; index < bolds.length; index++) { 

	 	 	 if (bolds[index].innerText.match('(Strict Standards|Warning|Notice|(Parse|Fatal) error)')) {
 
	 	 	 	 current_node = bolds[index].previousSibling.previousSibling; 
	 	 	 	 wrapper = document.createElement('div');
	 	 	 	 wrapper.className = 'php_error_wrapper'; 
	 	 	 	 wrapper_parent = current_node.parentNode;
	 	 	 	 wrapper_parent.appendChild(wrapper); 

	 	 	 	 for (child = 0; child < 7; child++) { 

	 	 	 	 if (current_node.tagName == 'A') child -= 2;
	 	 	 	 next_node = current_node.nextSibling; wrapper.appendChild(current_node); 
	 	 	 	 if (!(current_node = next_node)) break;
	 	 	 } 

	 	 link = document.createElement('a'); 
	 	 link.href = 'txmt://open?url=file://' + bolds[index-0+1].innerText + '&line=' + bolds[index-0+2].innerText;
	 	 link.innerText = '[Open in TextMate]'; wrapper.appendChild(document.createTextNode(' '));
	 	 wrapper.appendChild(link); 
	 	 
	 	 	 } 
	 	 } 
	 } 

	 var currentload = window.onload; if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
 	 	 window.onload = scanErrors; 
	 } else { 
	 	 window.onload = function(){ currentload(); scanErrors();

	 } 

} /* ]]> */ </script>

Any Ideas? Many Thanks, Chris

Hey Chris, I'm not sure if I'm any help but it looks like its going through some file finding all the b nodes (HTML bolds) and if any of them match PHP specific keywords then it builds a link with E Text Editor? so I guess you can jump to error? If thats the case thats cool, cause I hate debugging client side code in-browser and not translate to my editor...
