CSS isn't expanding via textmate or eclipse

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download Zen.Coding-Aptana.v0.5.1.zip 
2. install and validate that HTML expansion works with key command (it 
does)
3. try a couple CSS combinations and get incorrect results

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
@i should provide @import url(); but provides <@i></@i>
! should provide !important but provides <!></!>
div#foo provides <div id="foo"></div> (as expected)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Zen.Coding-Aptana.v0.5.1.zip, win-xp

Please provide any additional information below.

This problem occurs in eclipse, please disregard textmate.

ok, looks like what is occurring is that ZC isn't able to determine the correct 
editor type for css entries. If I alter line 24 of the ExpandAbbreviation.js 
file 
from:

editor_type = getEditorType() || 'html';

to:

editor_type = getEditorType() || 'css';

I can now expand CSS abbreviations (though not HTML ones anymore). I'll see if 
I can 
add some hints in zen_eclipse.js to encourage the CSS editor.

ok, after trying this out on my mac I've found that TextMate uses cmd-e to 
expand 
HTML abbreviations, and a tab to expand CSS. For eclipse I've added an Expand 
CSS 
Abbreviation.js file to my scripts directory, and have assigned alt-s to expand 
CSS 
as noted below. (alt-e still expands HTML)

The issue of ZC not finding the correct editor may be due to the fact that I'm 
running the plugin on Eclipse 3.4.1 vs Aptana studio.  

In any event, below is my Expand CSS Abbreviation.js content, if anyone is 
interested. I manually force CSS as the editor for this key combination.

Do you use Aptana HTML editor for coding? ZC uses internal Aptana utils to 
determine current editing region 
(HTML, CSS, JS). If you're using other editor (like WTP), ZC will fallback to 
HTML abbreviations

Hello Serge, I'm using Eclipse 3.4.1 - it uses a variety of editors. For most 
of the 
front end work, it's using the JSP editor (Aptana isn't even listed). I fully 
realize 
that you don't list Eclipse as a supported editor, though Aptana is built upon 
it. 

Since I'm using Eclipse, do you feel that targeting a separate key-combination 
for 
CSS expansion was the correct route? OR was there a more simplified way to get 
the 
same effect? 

In any event, it's good to know that zen-coding works on another editor. Thanks 
for 
the hard work.

I'll try to add independent editing region recognition for the next version. It 
will check if you're writing 
abbreviations inside <style> tag
