best way to use indent/javascript.vim within indent/html.vim for <script> tags

what's the best way to use indent/javascript.vim within indent/html.vim for tags

Edit: Appologies, as suggested I should really give a little more to go on so that you can help.

My vim settings can be found https://github.com/davetayls/vim-settings

I'm currently using html.vim from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2075 I'm using javascript.vim from http://github.com/pangloss/vim-javascript

Both of these are working really well for their prospective file types.

Thanks

Dave

What is the problem you are trying to solve? What doesn't work? What does?

You can tell Vim this file is an HTML+JS file (and thus take advantage of both language-specific sets of features) by issuing this command:

set filetype=html.javascript

If you are not satisfied with the default indent files you can search for a better one on the Vim website.

Someone has ported a cool Emacs feature called "narrowing" over to Vim. I've used it to debug large <style></style> and <script></script> portions in an old project. It's very nice.

I'll probably get a downvote but you should write your JavaScript in a separate *.js file. The benefits of doing this go well beyond fixing indentation problems in your editor (separation of concern, focus, maintainability, loading order, loading time…).
