JSLint integration: Question

[aundro@gmail.com]

Hello all,

[I've been searching on the internet and reading the lisp reference
for quite some time now, but there was no real luck..]

First of all, the context: I have been using emacs for quite some
time, without customizing it that much, really.

Now, the problem:
 * I've been coding quite a fair amount of JavaScript for work, lately
 * There's no 'syntactic checking' in emacs, for the JavaScript
language/mode at least
 * I thought I'd integrate the JSLint (http://www.jslint.com/
lint.html) verifier into emacs. To do that, I have added a "write-
contents-hooks" that calls an external program that calls jslint with
the contents of the buffer.
 * The results of JSLint are "collected" by myself, and output to
stdout. That means I have the control on what's output.
 * That output is then collected by emacs, and displayed in a buffer
called *jslint output*

All that works very nicely. The reference and tutorials on the web
have been a great help.

However, I'd like to go a little bit further, and make those lines
that appear in the *jslint output* clickable (pretty much like the
grep output in the *grep* buffer)

That's where I'm stuck; I couldn't find how to 'parse' such lines and
make them "activable" (i.e., clickable, or even <enter>-able).

Could you give me pointers on how to implement that?

Best regards,

          Arnaud.

PS: Here's the code that runs the "jslint" verifier. If anyone wants
to comment it, he's of course welcome, since this is my very first bit
of "real" emacs configuring:

PPS: The 'wraplint.js' file basically builds a string from stdin
(thus, those characters provided by emacs; the contents of the
buffer), passes that string to JSLint, and outputs the errors.

PPPS: Here's a typical error message, the way I format them:
"Error (6,9): Assignment in control part.; while (l = rdr.performSthg
()) {"
