From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 BuildID: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 The View Source window for Mozilla lacks a critical feature for webdevelopers. When viewing the source of a page it does not print the line number of each line, nor does it allow the user to jump to a specific line. This is very unfortunate for server side script developers as the line number of the source does not coorispond to anything meaningful in our script. If the view source feature simply had the line numbers in a left hand gutter or allowed the user to jump to a specific line number this feature would be MUCH more useful. The javascript console is a great enhancement to development, but the lack of line numbers in the view source makes it a frustrating experience to use in complex situations. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.load web page 2.hit ctrl-U 3. Actual Results: source was opened in mozilla view source program without line numbers. Expected Results: Should have allowed user the option to define a seperate application to view page source with or provided line numbers and jump to line number functionality in program. This is a simple feature that would make people realize how thoughtful and wonderful the mozilla project is. It really should be strongly considered as a high priority with the release of 1.0 coming up. I'm sorry I didn't mention it sooner but RC1 was the first mozilla build I've used enough to get frustrated with this lack. =) I'd love to hear back from you guys on this...
