Make DW use JS code-coloring instead of PHP

Question

I have a Javascript file that has a .php extension because of
some dynamic elements on the page. I also can't wrap the code in
<script> tags because of the way it loads. So basically, I
need to tell DW to use JS code coloring on this page instead of PHP
(right now, everything except the PHP is black text). Any way to
force it to associate the file with a specific file type, instead
of basing it on the file extension?

You can "fake" the script tags and fool the code coloring
scheme by adding to the top of the file:
// <script>
and to the bottom of the file:
// </script>
As the // are single line comments in JavaScript when the
file is loaded by the browser it won't see the script tags, but the
code coloring engine seems to be tricked and begins working on the
JavaScript code that is not within the <?php ?> code blocks.
