Viewing code in alternative way

[RhinoBull]

While browsing DevX I've noticed one very nice feature to view code - "No Textboxes".
Can we have something like that? DevX is part of JM so no need to reinvent the wheel...

[MartinLiss]

But there is/would be the need to maintain it and we like to keep that to a minimum unless there is a large need for something.

[RhinoBull]

Yes Martin, I am well aware of that but the thing is JM already maintains it.

[MartinLiss]

Yes but only at x number of sites and this would be just one more thing to maintain here. Have you ever had occasion to need to make a special modification to an app that you maintain at several places for a particular situation at one place? Would you want to do it at two places?

[RhinoBull]

Well, I know what you mean so that's why I asked "Can we ..."

Thanks.

[MartinLiss]

I'm not the last word on the subject but I'd say that the chances are very slim.

I've been developing a replacement for the code tags. (Sorry it's taken so long; it's just been on the backburner for a while.) The newer tags probably won't scroll like the current ones do, if that's what you're after.

[RobDog888]

Its the same code window as out [code] window. Just the colum and row properties may be set to different values which may be why some threads you viewed looked like there were no scroll bars. They do have scroll bars over there just like us.

Thanks Pen - that is presizely what I'm after. Can't wait to see what you've done.

So what are you saying? I know how it works at DevX - I asked if it can be implemented here as well.
I really hate scrollbars and would like to see code entirely or at least as much as screen can fit.

[RobDog888]

Yes, kind of like the quote tags. They are autosizing to the screen width-wize. That alone would to reduce scrollbars but the heightcould be bumped up but it wouldnt be a complete solution.

Where are you seeing this option on DevX?

[RhinoBull]

It's in vb code library but not in every post that has a code. It took me awhile to find again so here it is:

I thought you meant the DevX forums section and was wondering what the heck you were talking about.

Now, with that link, however, I see what you mean.

This is definately a Brad/Joe question.

I know I might've confused you and others but in my defence I never mentioned "forum" - only "While browsing DevX..."

Oh I can see how that will make a page real long if its got a decent amount of code in it. Its not part of the forum software and is their custom Hack. Not sure but it would require Hacking to get it to integrate with vBulletin. What would be the point if you have to click "No Textboxes" anyways?

I couldn't have said it better Rob and agree with this.

To view code entirely and not in pieces - just like we had back in the good-old days when vbcode rulled the vbforum.
But I could care less about the colored keywords.

Use a custom user.css in Opera for this site (F12). That might solve the problem. Opera's normal "User Mode view" works too. But the codes become center aligned.

I guess similar option is avilable in Firefox too.

Thanks iPrank but I have no intention of using anything but IE.
