How much intellisense should I expect for jquery in VS2008?

Answer 1

Have you installed the jQuery-vsdoc.js file as well (in the same location as jquery-1.2.6.js)? This file contains the comments for intellisense. It's documented in step 3 of ScottGu's blog post.

Update:

And you also installed the Visual Studio patch?

For me it works (as shown in ScottGu's blog), although I'm using a website project, not MVC. I added the script reference in the master page:

<script src="jquery-1.3.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

I get intellisense in both the master page and in content pages (tried it with the code you put in your question).

Answer 2

I'm getting similar results, but even more disappointing is that, when I'm referencing the script file in a master page, I don't get any jQuery intellisense at all in child pages. Admittedly this may be something I'm doing wrong, but for the time being I've had to include an <% if(false) { %> statement followed by a reference to the script file in any page/user control that I need intellisense on.

Eager to find out what I might be doing wrong.
