There is a GTK+ Javascript ( Seed ) Database Tutorial here:
Javascript GTK+ Seed SqLite Tutorial
When I cut and paste the code into Geany or Gedit and compile it throws this error:
** (seed:19814): CRITICAL **: Line 3 in ./db.js: SyntaxError Invalid character 'u8220'
After unsuccessfully trying to locate and delete the offending character not once but countless times I gave up. Then I simply typed all the code into Geany and then it compiles and executes no errors .
My question is do we have a way for Geany or Gedit to actually display or even place mark such invisible characters as typing in small programs I have no issues with but as they become larger then it becomes exceedingly weary and inefficient, especially when one is trying to learn a new framework.
My apologies if this is not a proper question for Stackoverflow but I truly am trying to understand how the cutting and pasting process adds in these characters, I have looked through the html and I see no such character in the tutorial.
The whole point of having sample code is to allow the end-user to cut and paste and compile and learn ? But this gave me a real bad headache till I finally decided to type it all in and then everything works.
