Issue JS files require <script> tags to format properly this causes a syntax error when included.

The code editor treats *.js files as if they were *.html files. So when writing js you get horrible auto tabbing and line breaks and it can't style variables correctly.


if you add "<script> tags it works fine. However including a *.js file with <script> tags will give you a syntax error and the file won't be included.

Adding <script> tags is a temporary fix while editing but is not ideal.

Adding "//<script>" at the start and "//</script>" at the end does resolve this issue.
The code editor see's the "//" as characters as HTML to print out to the display and then the <script> tags properly format the document.
Then when the file is properly interpreted as JS in the browser or else where the "//" comment out the <script> tags.
