Script Editor Icon

Skipping to an element using the navigation bar

The navigation bar allows you to locate certain useful elements of a script such as routines, properties, and global variables. The navigation bar has two pop-up menus:

The Language pop-up menu displays the current script language.

The Elements pop-up menu displays the currently selected script element.

Clicking the Elements pop-up will display a list of the script elements in the script.

To show the navigation bar:

Step 1

If the Navigation bar is not visible, choose View > Show Navigation Bar.

Step 2

Choose the Elements pop-up menu. The menu displays the currently selected element. The menu lists the elements in the script.

Step 3

Select an element to jump to it in the script window.

If nothing happens when you choose the Elements pop-up menu, you may not have any routines, properties, or global variables in your script.
