JavaScript intellisense and falling behind

Published Monday, September 18, 2006 10:52 PM

Dont know if this has been blogged about before, and franky dont really care. If its a duplicate, I am sure will live with it.

Found a cool, free tool called Aptana ( http://www.aptana.com/ ) (courtesy of Joseph Cooney who has more info on the tool. Thanx JC.) that provides intellisense for JavaScript (among other things). Its a Java thing though, so if your religion prevents you from using itm be warned. Its free, and its open source. It has some quirks, but it's still pretty cool.

I have been using it fromwith VS.NET. Mind you, don t set it as your default script editor as it will not play nicely with JavaScript debugging. if anybody has a similar tool or recommendation, I'd love to hear it.

Been pretty slack lately. Busy writing another book, spending time with the family, and letting my blog reading fall behind. I only have 449 unread blog emails in my blog folder in Outlook. I'll get round to them soon.....

Could you explain please, what do you mean by saying that you're using it fromwith VS.NET? As far as I understand Aptana is a standalone IDE and there is no VS.NET plugin so far. Could you provide VS.NET/Aptana settings you are using to integrate it into VS.NET? Thanks.

A quick search would've told you: http://weblogs.asp.net/search/SearchResults.aspx?q=aptana&o=Relevance

Alexei,

You can right click on a file within VS.NET solution explorer and choose "Open With..." and select from a list of apps to open your file with and/or set a default app. You can also add other apps (such as Apptana) from there.

so in other words you don't use it in visual studio.

I have been working with Microsoft's new ajax.asp.net library for some time, and have been looking for a decent Javascript editor with intellisense and knowlegde of Object Oriented Programming in Javascript and did not manage to locate one.
