JQuery 1.3.2 vsdoc does not create Visual Studio intellisense

Question

In the past, I worked with the vsdoc jQuery 1.2 file, which generates intellisense for vs2008 sp1.

I recently downloaded the latest version of jQuery 1.3.2 and jQuery 1.3.2 vsdoc. When I tried to get intellisense for jquery in vs2008 - I get the following error -

Warning 1 Error updating JScript IntelliSense: C: \ Documents and Settings \ sonx3d \ My Documents \ Visual Studio 2008 \ Projects \ WebApplication2 \ WebApplication2 \ jquery-1.3.2.js: the object does not support this property or @ 2139: 1 method

Can anyone help with this please?

Read this blog - http://blogs.ipona.com/james/archive/2009/01/14/jquery-1.3-and-visual-studio-2008-intellisense.aspx

What I did - I downloaded (updated) the version of the jquery vsdoc file and added the link in vs2008, and it worked.

Answer 2

He is working now. All I had to do was rename jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc2.js to jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc.js now works.

Answer 3

Check out this link http://code.google.com/p/jqueryjs/downloads/list

Download jquery-1.3.2-vsdoc2.js file and don't use jQuery 1.3.2 vsdoc

Some very useful jQuery intellisense links in Visual Studio:

  It explains how path style is important for Visual Studio, ASP.NET Web Forms, and ASP.NET MVC.

Answer 5

For those who work with the error message: IntelliSense JScript update failed: "div.childNodes" is null or not an object

This permission will probably help until they replace the file in google.
