Notepad ++无法将.js文件检测为javascript代码

Question

I am writing javascript code using notepad++. I found this problem and i don't know how to solve it.

When i open/create a new javascript file, i have to set the language to Javascript so the display will be changed. Here's the example.

i wrote a line "testing script"

And then i made it as a comment line, but the font color is still black. The comment should written in green color.

I need to change the language to Javascript so it could be read as a javascript code and i could use the shortcut, just like ctrl+q to comment a line.

I don't why this is happened. But it just happened after i update notepad++. Can anyone help. This also happened when i open existing javascript code.

Answer 1

I am also using the newer version of notepad++ but the comment function is working great. just to sure try saving it first with the js extension and then try to comment the line it. hope it works for you!
