Synchronizing HTML with the page

[Sam Hobbs]

I need to create a HTML viewer/scraper tool, so I will have HTML in a window with the corresponing page beside it. I might also have a tree (hierarchical) view. This is for a Windows environment.

I do not know how to get the HTML to scroll into view when the page is clicked. In other words, if I click on a paragraph in the page, I need to see the corresponding p element in the HTML window.

If anyone has a clue about how to do that, I hopefully can figure out the details.

Do this onclick event ....
<p onclick= "window.parent.frames('otherframe').scrollInto View (#marker)" >

or something like that ... don´t remember the proper syntax.
Hope it helps!

Hmmm... sounds like all you really need is to not re-invent the wheel.

Check out FireBug (for Mozilla Firefox <3.0)

Of course, if you absolutely *must* do it the way you are requesting, then you should also check into a JavaScript framework like JQuery which allows you to simply integrate things like scrolling to/through your source code
