Is there a reason why you aren't using javascript-mode ?

javascript using java-mode

[Tony Tung]

Hi,

I've been using java-mode to edit javascript, and it works great for  
the most part.  There is one quirk I was hoping someone could help me  
with.  In javascript, you are allowed to pass associative arrays as  
arguments, like:
  foo( i, j,
       {"a": 1,
        "b": 2} );

cc-mode and friends does not parse the statement as I hoped it  
would.  If the cursor is at i or j, then c-show-syntactic-information  
yields ((statement xxxx)).  If it is at "b", then c-show-syntactic- 
information yields ((defun-block-intro xxxx) (statement-cont yyyy)).   
Is it possible to get cc-mode to treat it like a brace-list?

Thanks!
