Javascript
Editor
The
JavaScript editor is available in HTML files and in separate JS
files. In HTML files only the content assistant is supported. Syntax
check and highlighting is only support in JS files.
Content Assist
The
new and improved JavaScript Editor has a content assistant as you
probably know from normal Java classes. It’s available for all
JavaScript document objects. The content assistant shows all objects,
Internet Explorer and Netscape specified.
Write
the first letters of an object and press STRG + SPACE and the
content assistant will show a list of all available objects.
The
JavaScript Editor also supports syntax check and color coding.
Outline View
A new nice Outline View supports JavaScript
methods and variables. If you select an item of the Outline View the
cursor will jump to this method or variable within the editor. You
can also delete a method or variable with the Outline View
Preview
The next nice feature is the preview
support. You can test your javascripts without using a external
browser. You find the preview tab ob the bottom of the editor window.
JavaScript
options
You can customize the JavaScript options
within the preferences of MyEclipse. You can choose different options
and change the styles for the color coding support. Open the
MyEclipse Preferences dialog (Window > Preferences) and choose
MyEclipse > JavaScript.
