There are editors like TextMate which is only a few years onld and can handle that much better than Emacs can do it now. Again, I am not sure why this is happening but the truth is, I need to write code (for web) easier not go learn another language to figure out if I can create a mode to help me write code, cause that takes time which I don't have right now.
