Introducing WebSpeed support in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge : Tasks : Working with Web objects : Using the SpeedScript Editor : Setting SpeedScript Editor preferences
 
Setting SpeedScript Editor preferences
Some of the SpeedScript editor preferences are set on the same preference pages that apply to the ABL Editor (Window > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Editor). Therefore, general preferences that are set for the ABL Editor also apply to the SpeedScript Editor.
However, there are some ABL Editor preferences that are particularly relevant to SpeedScript, including:
*Color -- Window > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Editor > Colors
Click on the icon next to SpeedScript to bring up a palette of color choices for SpeedScript elements (<Script language=”SpeedScript”></Script>) in an HTML file.
Notice the Color preference page section, which has links to pages where you can set color preferences for the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript elements in an HTML file.
*File types -- Window > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Editor > Build
By default, the Compilable file extensions field specifies html and htm as file types that can be compiled in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge.
Also by default, the SpeedScript extensions field specifies html and htm as file types that automatically open in the SpeedScript Editor when you double-click on them in the Project Explorer view.
*Templates -- Window > Preferences > Progress OpenEdge > Editor > Templates
You can edit one of the existing WebSpeed templates (WebSpeed Blank, WebSpeed Frameset, etc.) shown in the list box, or create a new one. The WebSpeed templates listed on this page are available for selection when you use the New SpeedScript wizard to create a new SpeedScript file.
There are other editor preference pages available from the tree view of the Preference dialog. To set preferences that apply to anything other than ABL or SpeedScript:
*Expand the General > Editors > Text Editors node for Eclipse platform editor settings.
*Expand the JavaScript > Editor node for JavaScript settings.
*Expand the Web > CSS FIles > Editor node for CSS settings.
*Expand the Web > HTML FIles > Editor node for HTML settings.
