I had 'HTML multihighlighter'. I cleared the JavaScript checkbox and got the same results. Manually changing using Change Syntax fixed it however. I only had the problem with a straight .js file. Embedded JavaScript in an HTML file is highlighted fine.
Thanks. p.s. Great program. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,30774,30780> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
