The setup -
(It's a terrible setup, but if you're interested, I'll leave an explanation for it at the bottom.)
I am editing a .php file that is including the contents of a .jsp file. All of this is being done with Brackets and I love having the live preview window.
The problem -
Whenever I edit content in the .jsp file, the live preview window changes to the text of the .jsp (no styling as Brackets obviously can't support rendering .jsp, and that's ok.)
What I need -
Is there a way to keep the live preview window locked to the .php file? I would like Brackets to treat the .jsp file like it would treat a .css file, for example. So when I switch to the .jsp that the .php would stay in the live preview window and update it when I save. (Currently this updating works fine, it's just the constant switching back and forth that is getting irritating.)
Another solution would be to open both files in separate live preview windows, I don't know if that is possible though.
The explanation -
My company is useless at updating the technology behind their website so I have to find workarounds to edit it. I am trying to create an easier editing setup for the .jsp files, which the site uses for nearly everything!
The .php file I have created is just a basic loader. By packaging the .jsp in a .php which can work with the live preview, it makes it easier and quicker to edit the files.
