Details

The find and replace functions don't work in HTML source editing mode.
reporter, what build are you using?
Comments from reporter:

Build ID 2001032319
I see this too.

BUILD: Linux 2001-04-17-08

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Open a page in composer
2) Switch to view source mode
3) Open the edit menu

EXPECTED RESULTS: the "find" and "replace" options are enabled

ACTUAL RESULTS: the "find" and "replace" options are disabled

NOTES:  This happens, of course, because we use a textarea for the view source
mode.  However, I would say that it should be possible to find/replace in
textareas in general.

Highly desirable Change Request!

The Replace option in raw HTML editing mode should allow you to search for a
block of HTML code over a no of lines and replace it with another block of code
again spread over a no of lines. This would make global format changes much easier!

The code could be put in the Find and Replace fields using Cut and Paste from
the editor.

This would also be useful in WYSIWIG HTML editing mode.

As of 11/30/01, this issue is still present. I also like to have the
find/replace option in html. I tried to do this as well, and to no avail, was
unable to do it. I am using build 2001112603 and win me. I have also tested this
with 2 versions of '98. I am posting to let you know that this issue still exists. 
Should this bug be assigned to Akkana?
Or should it be changed to refer just to textareas? or ?
It's a command handling issue (figuring out why the commands are disabled when
they should be enabled).  Who owns command handling for composer these days?

Whether it should work in textareas in general is another issue which UI people
should decide (so that should be made a separate bug which can be assigned to
someone in a position to make that decision).  In a browser window, if focus is
in a textarea/text field would the user really want cmd-F to search only in the
text control and not in the whole window?

Though it might be that turning it on for the plaintext editor would also turn
it on for text controls.  Charley might know.
I filed bug 120568 about implementing find/change for text fields in the 
browser.

More to it than simply a capability that got disabled somehow.  I realize the
thing about a "boring consistancy," but --

The Browser has a MENU=[Search][Find]
The MailNews has a MENU=[Search][Find]

It violates the "Principle of Least Surprise" to find that the Composer does not
have a MENU=[Search] but locates the [Find] function under MENU=[Edit].
Of course ViewSource also locates it under MENU=[Edit]!  Is consistancy too much
to expect?
Is the target for this bug still 1.0.1?  Just wondering if that is makeable, or 
if it should be delayed?

Find/Replace for textareas is covered by bug 120568.
Summary: No [Find] or [Replace] in HTML Source editor and other textareas → No [Find] or [Replace] in HTML Source editor
But the HTML Source window is simple a textarea. It doesn't matter if it's within
the Composer app or in a web page. When bug 120568 is fixed, so will this. 
I feel like dupping this, but I'll add a dependency of now.

Please add the words "Search" and "Composer" to the summary. It is almost 
impossible to find this bug (I actually managed to find it through one of the 
dupes). And while you're at it, feel free to mark Bug 195829 as another dupe...

Shouldn't the lack of a search option in Composer's source pane be filed under
Editor:Composer instead of Editor:Core?
