Error updating JScript IntelliSense with Google Apis hosted jQuery

Question

I reference jQuery in my application via: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js.

This generates an error with vs.net: "Error updating JScript IntelliSense: c:...jquery.min-fds90[1]..js: Object doesn't support this property or method @18:9345.

Other than putting a local copy of the javascript file on my dev box, is there a way to fix this?

Btw, this occurs with VS.Net 2008 SP1 with this hotfix: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2008/11/21/jquery-intellisense-in-vs-2008.aspx

Answer 1

I also encounter this problem.
This problem only occurs when you use minified version of jQuery.

You can use uncompressed version in development.

Answer 2

I think the issue is that the vsdoc file on the jQuery site has a slightly incorrect filename which confuses VS.

Answer 3

I finally found the answer to this question:

Basically, add the following to above your jQuery include:

<% /* %><script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;% */ %>

I found Rick Strahl's write up to be a really nice start to jQuery including his notes on setup for intellesense and visual studio

You can find his here.
