"I found annotating the library with a few XML Doc Comments..."

That is actually _not_ a positive selling point! Who's gonna write comments for a javascript framework that they use in order to get some intellisense?

@Mike : What's the disadvantage of having the OPTION to do this? For some development teams it might make sense to have a dev version of the library with comments for intellisense support. You could always change refs to packed or gzipped version for deployment.

Geez. What the heck is 'jscript'? Would you people get over yourselves please? It's *JAVASCRIPT*. That's what we are using on the front-lines. NOT JSCRIPT, whatever the heck that is.

It's just another example of why we programmers are so frustrated w/Microsoft. Frankly, if it wasn't for Scott Guthrie and his MVC.NET, many of us would start jumping to a platform w/a better IDE (2005 stinks the big one), and better support (ie, COMPATIBILITY and the realization that the net is NOT a Microsoft world and never will be). Too much innovation happens outside of your very high fences, folks.

So get with the program, please and start acknowledging INDUSTRY STANDARDS!

Intellisense for JQuery in VS 2008

Bilal Haidar [MVP, MCT] — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:43:51 GMT

The hotfix mentioned in a previous post of mine among the things that it fixed, was an intellisense problem

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with jQuery

WebDevTools — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:58:59 GMT

Hi Alan: Believe it or not, I would rather use the common term "JavaScript" also. However, it's technically a Sun trademark (see http://www.sun.com/suntrademarks/index.jsp) and--as an employee of another large software company--I just try to be careful. This leaves me only "ECMAScript" or "JScript" to use. While "ECMAScript" is actually the standard, I felt "JScript" would click for more people. Coincidentally, "JScript" is actually the implementation used in IE and in VS, so there is some technical correctness there also.

I'm sorry to hear that VS2005 isn't working out for you. We try to do our best, so if there's something specific you also don't like in VS2008, I'd like to know. Thanks!

Great job, I am glad to see intellisense support working for JQuery. Good job!

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with jQuery

Jeff — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 01:19:28 GMT

Okay, not exactly on topic, but I've always found Visual Studio to be the best IDE I've ever used. Visual Studio is a large part of why I got hooked on Microsoft technology. It has its quirks but they have never prevented me from accomplishing my job.

As far as I'm concerned, keep up the great work!

You mentionned working on prototype... is ExtJS also in the pipeline? The company I work for is considering it, but we don't really want to use something that won't play well with javascript intellisense...

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with jQuery

WebDevTools — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 21:42:12 GMT

We are working on ExtJS support right now. We haven't identified the problem yet, but looks like it is related to our simulated DOM. We will post as soon as we get it working (or if we cannot get it working).

Lance Fisher — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 21:44:18 GMT

Hi Jeff, this is really cool. Starting with your example, I went through and <a href="http://lancefisher.net/blog/archive/2008/02/12/intellisense-for-jquery-in-visual-studio-2008.aspx">commented the jQuery library</a>. I added comments for most everything, but there are still a few gaps. You can download the .js from my blog.

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with jQuery

Francois Ward — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 23:57:48 GMT

Thanks for the quick answer. Btw, as an only semi-related sidenote, I'm quite enjoying the increased updates and transparency when it comes to VS2008, as opposed to what we had during the 2003 and 2005 days. Keep it up!

"@Mike : What's the disadvantage of having the OPTION to do this? For some development teams it might make sense to have a dev version of the library with comments for intellisense support. You could always change refs to packed or gzipped version for deployment."

Sure some will do it, but that's not my point. It's the IDEA that is backwards, USERS adding comments to LIBRARIES they USE just to support their IDE. I hope the Open AJAX alliance will come up with a solution for this soon. Some kind of standard hooks EVERY IDE can use.

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with jQuery

"However, it's technically a Sun trademark (see http://www.sun.com/suntrademarks/index.jsp) and--as an employee of another large software company--I just try to be careful."

Amazing, I thought Netscape developed it? How did Sun get the trademark? Anyway, I never liked the term JScript either (also easy to confuse with JScript.NET), but at least now we know why you guys do it.

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with jQuery

Kevin Radcliffe — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 01:55:18 GMT

@Mike : Very good point about a possible standards hook. I had not looked into the Open AJAX Alliance previously, so your comment got me looking at it. Thanks

For now though, I don’t think it’s necessarily a problem for users to put effort in to get intellisense support if they want it (I won’t, just thinking some teams will). This isn’t an exact parallel, but jQuery itself uses some custom selectors which aren't part of a standard, but are included because they are useful right now: http://docs.jquery.com/DOM/Traversing/Selectors#Custom_Selectors

Wikipedia has a little bit of history about Java/Javascript/JScript/ECMAScript:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript

The initial version of JScript was fairly different from the initial version of Javascript. At some point, a standard named ECMAScript was written and both implementations now conform to that.

JQuery IntelliSense in Visual Studio 2008

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with jQuery

James Hart — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 18:29:37 GMT

I've just put together a tool that reflects over the JQuery API and uses the published JQuery XML documentation to build up a stub file containing intellisense comments for JQuery. I've blogged about how you can use a stub like that to override the real JQuery with annotated stubs for intellisense here: http://blogs.ipona.com/james/archive/2008/02/15/JQuery-IntelliSense-in-Visual-Studio-2008.aspx

For a number of reasons to do with how JQuery's implemented, this approach seems to be the best way to get good quality intellisense throughout JQuery's API. And now that VS2008 intellisense keeps working even when it comes across the jQuery sourcecode, you can use a trick like this without any problem.

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with jQuery

Anonymous — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 23:56:04 GMT

Am I missing something? I just applied the Hotfix. I have my custom JQuery code for one of my Views in it's own .js file being referenced by the .aspx page. I try to add a debug point in my .js file that contains my custom JQuery for the View. When I run it using the VS 2008 built-in web server, it never hits the debug point. I also try to use Intellisense in that .js file and it doesn't do a thing for me.

Maybe I just don't know how to do this right or maybe it just doesn't work in a .js file and you have to inline your JQuery code right into the .aspx for debugging or Intellisense to work?

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with jQuery

WebDevTools — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 09:52:59 GMT

@Anonymous: IntelliSense (and Debugging) should work from a JS file the same as an ASPX. I can take a look at your project (or a reduced sample of it) if you send it to jking-at-microsoft-dot-com to see what's wrong. Thanks!

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with jQuery, not so well, yet..

vFragoso — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 18:04:35 GMT

First of all, sorry for my bad english..

I don't know, how far goes your experience with jQuery, so I'll try hard to make this self-explained.

In jQuery there are some functions that can get or set a value of a css propertie, or an html attribute of the object in question.

Some good examples are the functions width(), height(), css("property"), attr("attribute")..

If you type $(object).width(), you get the value, and $(object).width( val ), you set, of course.

But the problem is how intellisense handles this, since a function like this can return a string, or the jQuery object itfself, allowing you too continue setting other attributes for this same object, like:

$(object).width(val).height(val).css("attribute", "val")

In case you are GETTING the height of the object, for example, intellisense should stop showing after that.

But, if you are SETTING, it should continue working.

A great idea, I guess, is to allow us to define multiple definitions for the same function, like in C# intellisense, choosing one with those cool little arrows.

Something like:

definition

summary /

param /

return type="jQuery" /

/definition

definition

summary /

param /

return type="string" /

/definition

Anyway, thanks for the work so far.

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with jQuery

WebDevTools — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 11:12:45 GMT

@vFragoso: I completely understand the problem you are describing. We haven't invented a syntax to address that problem yet. But we'll see what we can do next release. C# has it easy because of it's types and clear definition of overloads. In JS--strictly speaking--anything can affect the return type, from the number of arguements, to the type of the arguments, to the value of the arguments. To absurdity, you could vary the return type on Math.random(). We would want to account for the variety of possibilities... although probably not that last one. =)

We use prototype.js and have been using it for years now. I love the intellisense for js and it's too bad it doesn't work for prototype.

But is it a flaw in prototype.js or VS? Can the prototype crew fix this themselves?
