Hi,

I’m fairly new to MyEclipse, but I’m not sure if the CSS Smart editor with content assist is working properly, or perhaps I misunderstanding this feature.

I thought that if I was working in the editor on a *.css and as I typed a list of values would be displayed. So if typing the word, “font” then once I hit the “f” MyEclipse would list the first word starting with “f” like “fill”. Then as I continued to type the list would become more limited until I either selected a value from the list or completed typing the value.

Then once I either selected one of the options or finished typing and inserted a colon, I would either see a hint, such as <bold, normal, lighter, bolder, etc > for font-weight or some common values like <serif, sans-serif, monospace, cursive, etc> for font-family.

Is there a flag that I need to check or something?

Also I have the properties pane showing and while that does supply a list of tags, there are no suggested or common values displayed.

Thanks,

Richard

Richard,
The keystroke to invoke autocomplete is CTRL-Space, that will popup the autocomplete or content assist window for you.
