Rainbow improperly highlights <script></script>
Show more... ...Show less

If a site does something like

<script type="javascript" src="slider.js"></script>
the ending </script> tag isn't noticed by Rainbow, and it will try to JS-highlight everything until it meets another </script> tag which isn't preceded by a > (at least, that's what I've noticed).

This causes a problem in some websites, e.g. Wikipedia: around line 64, there is such a script tag, and the rest of <head> consists only of bare includes, so Rainbow pretends that a chunk of the head and the body is JS, and then highlights a bunch of unmatched tags that it missed while in JS mode.

Firebug won't show any script with rainbow installed
Show more... ...Show less

Hi! I've wanted to try Rainbow for quite a while, but I keep getting this strange behaviour: The pane where I used to have the script text, is now empty, nomatter what script I select. If I disable Rainbow, I get to see everything right (black text on white background, though, obviously...). Any clues to what's causing this, can I try something to solve it?

I'm running Minefield (3.0.1) on an Intel Mac OSX 10.5.4. Also tested it under Firefox 3, with the same behaviour. I noticed a comment from July 22nd, on the Firefox rainbow page that reports the same behaviour under windows XP (firefox 3).

Thanks in advance!

Can't hover over a variable names to inspect values quickly via a tooltip using Rainbow
Show more... ...Show less

When using Rainbow I can't hover over variables to inspect their values in a tooltip. (Of course I can always use the Watch window, but sometimes just hovering over a variable is handy without having to add it to the watch each time).

Slowness working with very large javascript files
Show more... ...Show less

When I open a large javascript file (~20000 lines) firefox 3 slows down to a crawl. Sometimes the "Unresponsive script" dialog will popup and ask me to stop or continue the script. The reason I have a js file so long is because I'm automatically concatenating all the js files in my project into one. My machine is very new (quad core with 8 gigs of ram). I understand that this is probably a bit of an edge case for rainbow, but I figured I'd let you know.

Provide an option to convert tab characters into spaces
Show more... ...Show less

The rainbow extension to Firebug is REALLY neat.

However, I am finding that when the JavaScript file uses tabs for indenting, rather than spaces, the default rendering shows 8 spaces.

Is there a way to either change the tab size to 4 (I suspect this may be a browser thing?)

Or, have an option to replace tabs with space characters (and let the user configure how many spaces, e.g. 4 by default).

I have asked at the following google groups, but no answer yet, and this may suggest the core issue is deeper, at Firebug or Firefox http://groups.google.com/group/firebu...

However, giving an option during parsing by Rainbow would be really useful.
