goto line function

I have a filemanager and I want to make it easier to find the line an error is on.Is there a way to have JS goto a line in a textarea. or what would be the best way for someone to input the line they want to go to and have then sent there?

I don't think there is, even if there was goto is not an effiecient way of doing things...it can cause more trouble than it is worth.You can use try catch staements to find errors.

try{   ....do something...}catch(err){   alert(err.description);  //error occured}

I wrote a nice little snippet for this. Unfortunately Opera doesn't like scrollTop, but it works in Firefox and Internet Explorer :)http://www.ifcode.com/javascript/scroll_textarea.htmlI've set it to scroll to 98 as an example, but change the number sent to the function to scroll elsewhere.

Nice script :)

Very nice piece of code indeed! Opera case is funny, if You put div overflow to scroll ..scrollTop will work fine with Opera, but not with textarea.And I'm using newest Opera 9 available (Linux build 241).
