Finding Where You Used Objects/ Variables

NeilWhat aggravates me to no end about what you said you were told at the conference is that you were instructed to TELL THEM HOW TO DEVELOP the idea. What happened to great ideas from users and the COMPANY writes them up and developes HOW TO IMPLEMENT THEM?I find this happens to me a lot with the company we have our LMS hosted with... and I keep thinking, "I gave you the idea, you figure out how to implement (develop) it."That being said, I'd like to see the functionality work either with a context-sensitive menu (the right-click) via a Show IN USE function or use like DreamWeaver does where you can see the instance of each use of the object during a search.Regardless of the implementation method, I agree it is highly needed. I too have the same problem. I find myself creating more and more complex nav systems and often times have over 15 to 20 actions on a single button and this is repeated for each page... I'd like a way to see an inventory of the use of a button, image, script, object or whatever you call it.Thanks for sharingBradley FredrickInstructional Designer"I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught" - Winston Churchill
