Currently the HTML source view uses an XUL text field. There's no way to tell if the field has been modified. This issue could be resolved if the plain text editor was used. Additionally you could then implement Find and Replace or Print Source.
That's bug 35268 : [RFE] Edit Source using External Editor *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 35268 ***

No, I'm referring to the Plaintext Editor on Composer's Debug menu.
this sounds like a duplicate... reassign to cmanske since he may know where that bug is...I haven't been able to find it maybe Simon knows of the bug?

I have 3 or 4 bugs about HTML source which will all be fixed when we have a better plain text editor solution. I don't see any other bug about the central issue -- using the full plain text editor. So we can keep this as the tracking bug.

is this kinda related to bug 8589 ?
bug 8589 is somewhat related, in that allowing an external app is one solution, but we'd prefer to have our own HTML source editor as well.

Comment on attachment 119327 [details] [diff] [review] Fixed typo Can you change this comment to include "<editor>"? + // Initialize our "textarea" This line concerns me, did we lose the optimization for not needing to rebuild the source/dom tree? Apparently not, but can we get rid of this altogether? Is there some other state we need to keep this global around for or can we always just ask the editor? + gHTMLSourceChanged = true; // suppress notifications remove this line: + //gSourceTextEditor.beginningOfDocument();

-->Neil since he has the patch
Assignee: cmanske → neil
Status: REOPENED → NEW
This is fabulous work! Thank you, Neil! I have played with this patch for a few hours and haven't found any problems. This is a feature that has been widely requested and opens a whole area of improvements to the HTML Source editor. I've added a few other bugs that could be fixed once this work is checked in. I highly recommend this for 1.4final.

Comment on attachment 121892 [details] [diff] [review] Implement Find in HTML source sr=alecf I don't see "var" declarations for all those global variables - are they declared elsewhere? Have you tried this with strict javascript mode on to see if you get warnings? (still get the sr, just want to make sure all is good)

I can't search the Source-pane with v1.4.1. Can anyone verify this before I open a new bug? Thanks, Prog. PS. The 1.4.1 Release Candidate can be found here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.4.1/
Please see Bug 220212 for a minor problem. FIND doesn't find a string that is word wrapped at the end of a line in HTML SOURCE view.

when using "view page source" from the new "server not found" page, it just displayes the "server not found" page in the page source - not its html. FF 1.5 Beta 2. Try this: 1. Go to http://www.glori.bschool.unc.edu/ 2. View page source You will see "server not found" as a page, not its html
