yeah, i was the one that made the "taking over" comment. i prolly shouldn't have done that :)
Aptana's not a small plugin. It does CSS. it does JS. it does HTML. And last few times I've gone to start Eclipse, Aptana's alerted me that I need to update it. I guess that's not a bad thing... i'm just not used to eclipse plugins being so proactive. But... i couldn't imagine my Eclipse install without Aptana for CSS (I use JSEclipse for Javascript tho). Now, here's the rub... as you do seem to understand... when you're in a .cfm file, you'll be in the cfeclipse perspective. any css that's in the cfm will be styled by cfeclipse. AFAIK, a single document is controlled by a single plugin. You can't have CFEclipse handling the coldfusion portion of a .cfm page and Aptana handling the css portion of that same page at the same time. so a few suggestions... 1) install aptana 2) separate out your css from your cfm 3) subscribe to the cf-eclipse mailing list On Dec 8, 2007 8:47 AM, Rick Faircloth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I swear Rick, you like to make your life difficult > > You sound just like my wife, Crow... and I think you're both right! > > Anyway...
