Prototype / Scriptaculous intellisense in Visual Studio

Question

Hello,

How do I get intellisense for Prototype / Scriptaculous like we get for jQuery in Visual Studio??

Thanks...

Answer 1

I might be wrong but I really doubt there is any for now.

For now, either you write your own and share with the world or wait for someone to create them.

PS: jQuery intellisense support was released as a hotfix for VS.NET. It makes sense as jQuery is sort of 'endorsed' by the MS guys. Chances for them to release similar support for other JS framework is unlikely I'll say.

Answer 2

It's certainly not perfect, but you can get a little bit by adding

/// <reference path="path/to/prototype.js" />

to the top of your JavaScript files. Actually, if you have a JS file open in Visual Studio and you drag the prototype.js file into your open file, it will automatically add that reference for you.

This will give you very poor IntelliSense support, but perhaps it is better than nothing.

Answer 3

the best IntelliSense is writte alot of javascript with prototype!!!!, lol... you don't need it when you know it =)
