The HTML search does not search though a flat text array (since there is none). It searches for the text within each textual aspect of each node, so "body" hits because the tagname of the body tag has text "body".
Firebug 1.5 will have a CSS Selector search function. 1.5a21 has the first round, simple search given a complete selector. Still need to add auto-complete and a better UI. jjb On Aug 20, 8:59 am, outis <[email protected]> wrote: > I may be doing this wrong, but i am trying to use the search function > in firebug to find specific html tags. > > Here are some examples with the HTML tab open: > Search for "body" - highlights body in line containing <body > marginwidth=>.... and other lines containing "body" > Searching for "<body" doesn't work. > Searching for "body m" doesn't work. > Searching for "body..." will return results from Text in page, but not > from <body marginwidth=> > > Is this expected behavior and i'm wanting it to do something its not > meant to, or should this work and its just not. > Hope this is clear > Thank you > > Chris --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
