Is there any software with intellisense for Javascript/jQuery?

I want to start learning jQuery, but there's so much you can do with it. I'm interested in using PHP as well.

I understand that Visual Studio has intellisense for Javascript, but isn't that for ASP.NET? Can you build PHP applications in Visual Studio?

+2 A:

There is Aptana Studio with such support as well as full featured PHP editor.

yea 2 seconds, i see you pimped your posting, well, you win ;) but now there is a good answer for a visual studio inntegration...

zolex 2010-09-23 18:36:10

you can build any applications with visual studio, but visual studio is waste... have a look at eclipse, aptana's js editor has jQuery autocompletion.

zolex 2010-09-23 18:10:51

@zolex, when you say that Visual Studio is a waste is it actually your personal experience talking?

You can use Eclipse aptana studio in eclipse PDT. Plugging Aptana to eclipse. Aptana has some intellisense for jQuery but beware that it's not complete since Javascript is a dynamic language and it's difficult to get a complete one.

Buy my honest take on jQuery intellisense. If you want to be a jQuery expert dump the intellisense part. Javascript is a dynamic language and that is the reason why these editors never work as intended. I used VisualStudio recently and never got what I intended.

I use Aptana with the jQuery plugin offered on the plugins page and it works fine. Installing it wasn't the simplest thing in the world, and one time I installed it and it crashed Eclipse every time I pressed ctrl-space, but once it's installed without having broken, it works fine. :-)

@treeface I was in the same boat too while configuring the plugin. But aptana works better than VS 2010 when it comes to jQuery intellisense.

A_Var 2010-09-23 18:26:58

I haven't used VS 2010, so I can't speak to it, but I agree that Aptana's (or, I suppose, Eclipse's) jQuery support is fairly good.

You can get Visual Studio to have intellisense for jQuery - see jQuery 1.4.1 Intellisense with Visual Studio on Scott Gutherie's blog. Not for VS 2008 you need to install this patch.

this seems to answer the question even better than switching ide to aptana ^^
