Re: snipMate not working

Thanks Gary / Marc / Charles

Turns out putting "set nocompatible" into the .vimrc file did the trick (Thanks Marc)

This worked on it's own without any of the "filetype" settings, though as you'll see below I put them in anyway as I had heard they were important (possible for other reasons ?)

Thanks again for everyone's help

Much appreciated

contents of .vimrc file :

set ts=4
set ai
set shiftwidth=4
syn on
set mouse=a
au BufRead,BufNewFile jquery.*.js set ft=javascript syntax=jquery
color evening
filetype on
set tabpagemax=25
set smartindent
set showmatch
set vb t_vb=
set ruler
set incsearch
set nocompatible
au BufRead,BufNewFile *.php set ft=php.html
filetype plugin on
filetype indent plugin on | syn on
