It will be more needed when AJAX will come world wide.
Comment 10 Jiri Kovalsky 2005-05-09 14:55:29 UTC
Please take this RFE into account when planning new features into next release.

Comment 13 Peter Nabbefeld 2005-06-13 10:01:21 UTC
There are even more scripting languages, such as vbscript, php etc. Also, e.g.
php supports different tags. I'd be glad, if there'd be support for this by a
pluggable and configurable (per project) framework. E.g. if there were plugins
for php5 and asp, one project might be configured to use <% for php, one for asp
and another for jsp.
Comment 14 zikmund 2005-06-14 16:24:00 UTC
This enhancement won't definitely be part of next NetBeans release (4.2) due to
resource constraints, although many people miss it.
Any help from volunteer contributors to NetBeans is welcome.

Comment 16 Marek Fukala 2005-07-18 10:05:27 UTC
I *would like* to implement javascript syntax coloring and all connected stuff
like code completion, formatting etc. for next nb release.

However the change will be quite extensive - there has to be implemented a new
HTML multisyntax, JSPMultiSyntax must be updated along with a huge number of
code to work with the new token types.

CC reporters/voters of the duplicated issues.

Comment 19 clever 2006-02-04 13:28:48 UTC
This seems like a very popular request. Currently, Ajax and other JavaScript
based patterns are taking the world by storm. Even Eclipse has a respectable
JavaScript editing module.
Can this be targeted for 5.1? I'm wasting time right now looking for a decent
editor.
+1 for me!
Wow... reported back in 2001.. 
Comment 20 clever 2006-02-04 13:31:54 UTC
Thats not cool! Changing the module to web (since Javascript isn't just for
HTML) made the 45 votes disappear!!!!
Arggh!
Swithing back, in hopes they return..
Comment 21 clever 2006-02-04 13:33:50 UTC
Well, it looks like I've committed a mortal sin. I blew away 45 votes on this
RFE... Would be nice if Bugzilla warned that the votes would be deleted! :(
I do sincerely apologize to anyone who lost a vote! I'm quite embarrassed!
Comment 22 vnicolici 2006-02-06 09:15:56 UTC
I think you should file a Bugzilla bug for the problem with the votes.
Comment 23 Petr Jiricka 2006-02-09 14:43:47 UTC
I reported the bug with disappearing votes: see issue 72474.

I found two duplicates: #86236 and #71371.
Is there any progress here? I saw the second bug linking to:

Comment 27 Petr Pisl 2006-10-11 14:25:32 UTC
Yes, there is progress. The JavaScript support is on of the main themes, which
we are discussing during next release planing.  Marek takes care about the
JavaScript support.

Javascript editing for both standalone files and html/jsp pages with embedded js
is implemented now.
