there were several packages that make this happen, variously named
multi mu ma or something like that. From what i've reead on the wiki
or here, i never attempted to install them because they are too
complex.
the thing is that emacs's syntax coloring system wasn't designed for
multi-langs in a single page, pretty much needed today for html/css/js/
asp/php.
you might check the emacswiki and try those packages.
what i typically do is to assign a key shortcut to switch me to say
html mode, and another for css mode. So, when i want to work on html
section, press f6, and when in js section i press f7, etc.

This would be great. I"m often editing Verilog files that also contain
c pre-processor code.
