Hi,
first of all let this message serve as presentation and to stop
lurking. I have a current project, which I am not sure that it fits
the script.aculo.us library, so I thought that before anything else
I''d ask here.
The project is a client-side syntax highlighter, to bring some life
to those <pre> and <code> blocks, so that no matter which
server-side
technology you are using, nor the language your code is in, as long as
your visitor has a capable browser, you will be able to pretty print
the code.
Now, this doesn''t fit with most of the uses I have seen of AJAX - I
wouldn''t even call an AJAX based library, but it exercises extensively
the DOM and CSS. That''s why I am not sure that it should be released
together.
As for the completion of the code, I''d say is about 90% done. I can
get it to work in IE and in firefox, but not at once --not without
using browser detection, which my sense of aesthetics dislikes. At one
point it even consistently made firefox hang, I needed to use deer
park 1 to avoid this side-effect.
So, what do you think? Would this be a welcome addition to prototype,
scriptaculous or akin libraries? Or should I release it separetely?
cheers
