Hi folks,

I'm using vim 7.1 and for some reason when I open something.javascript
 vim detects it correctly that it is a javascript file and applies the
necessary highlighting but when the same file is renamed to
something.js vim doesn't detect it automatically. If I say

:filet detect

the highlighting is applied correctly. With any other filetype (C,
python, etc) automatic highlighting works, I only have to say it
manually (:filet detect) for .js files. Why is this?

There are these lines in  /usr/share/vim/vim71/filetype.vim

" JavaScript, ECMAScript
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.js,*.javascript,*.es    setf javascript

which would make me think that both file extensions are wired up to be
detected as javascript. And I have in my ~/.vimrc

filetype plugin on
syntax on

And nothing js or javascript related in the same file. Does anyone
have an idea what's going on?

Cheers,
Daniel
