Javascript indentation in VIM

Question

I\'m trying to get VIM to indent Javascript with the \'=\' and related commands. When I try to auto indent the following, for example:

   new function($) {
              


        

Answer 1

For me it works (not very helpful statement, I know ;-) ). I suppose that the filetype is not detected correctly.

What does

 :set filetype

say? It should report "javascript".

[EDIT] Hint: Please note that there is an option called 'filetype' and a command called :filetype. To get help for the option do :help 'filetype' for the command do :help :filetype.
