I'm known not to be a fan of JavaScript at all. But the fact that in Rollbase JavaScript trigger code has to be edited in a pure, unformatted text area does not raise my fun at all.
Is it possible to integrate a JavaScript editor that supports
- syntax highlighting
- collapsible blocks
- basic error indications
into Rollbase?
First comment.... This would make a good "idea" for voting on. I would give it a thumbs up.
Secondly, one thought might be to take the OpenEdge Mobile editor for JavaScript and reuse it here. I am curious if others have any thoughts on a good open source javascript editor. =

This gives a good comparision of editors.
I had seen ACE in the past. Looks very nice.
Question is if it's technically and license wise feasible to integrate that into Rollbase.

Bill, the last time I looked at it (I admit that's a while ago) that wasn't that much better as well. Has it improved?
I don't know specifics of when you saw it, but it has many of the feature you mention - color coding. Indenting. (But not all). =
For all those that are interested in this, there is an IDEA on the Rollbase:Challenge area. Please Vote for it!

A gentle nudge... Lots of comments here, i see, but no new votes for this feature in the Idea Space.....
