Standalone browser mode

Sidewinder can be invoked as a standalone browser from your Start menu; a menu item will have been added when Sidewinder was installed.

In this mode, Sidewinder has three dockable child windows:

  • Output window, showing general application logging messages;
  • Errors window, containing details of errors in HTTP operations or during XML parsing;
  • Events window, displaying XForms events as they occur in the document (due to performance considerations, event logging must be enabled manually by pressing F9).

Furthermore, the standalone browser mode contains a syntax-highlighted source view, which shall gradually evolve into a full featured editor.
