Syntax Colouring in .JS, .INC and other files
Posted: 23 May 01
|
If you want syntax colouring (coloring), pop-up property lists etc. then you need to use the HTML Editor for the source files:
The following solution was provided by Dan_Guest  ! It works and is very easy...
Do what they say to do here for a .js file (instead of a .htc file that the article is concerned with):
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q200/8/74.ASP
[ie set the default editor for files with extension .js (or whatever) to HTMLEditor - via the Open With... dialog.]
Then add the line:
//<script language="javascript">
as the first line of your .js file
There you go, you now have colored keywords etc. when you view the source of the .js file. This should also work for other script file extensions such as .vb (where the top line would be:
'<script language="vbscript">
instead)
NOTE: This top line tells the HTML Editor which language to use - but MUST be prefixed with a comment character of that language (// or ') - else it will error at runtime.
NOTE 2: .js, .vb / .vbs and .inc files will be displayed as plain text in any browser that navigates to that file. To HIDE these files from prying eyes, simply change the file extension to .ASP.
NOTE 3: Include files do not need this top-line comment - as they should already have any language tags in them. |
