jQuery 1.3 was released a little over a month ago. The 1.3 release adds exciting features such as selector performance improvements, "live events" where events can be bound to both current and future elements, and more. Version 1.3.2 was released a few days ago and fixes some bugs include one involving selector performance in IE. I just wanted to let everyone know that we now have VSDoc files for all of the 1.3 releases. You can download them from the jQuery Downloads page ... A refresher on how to use the file can be found here or here . Here's one of the new functions in action... Hope this helps! Jeff King Program Manager Visual Studio Web Tools Read More...
I've been reading through the 70 or so comments on our last 2 jQuery posts. There have been a lot of great questions. Apologies for not being able to answer them sooner (I was busy preparing for Dev Connections). Instead of answering them inline with the comments, I'll try to paraphrase the popular issues here and answer them centrally. 1. I have a ton of Content Pages, do I need to put script references for IntelliSense in each one? No, you do not need to repeat the script references on each content page. Visual Studio 2008 will auto-detect the presence of a master page and scan for references in that file. Thus, placing references in the master page is all you need to do. 2. I put a vsdoc reference in...
Last week I mentioned we would be releasing a Hotfix to accompany our new jQuery VSDoc file . This Hotfix is now available at the MSDN Code Gallery . Here's a direct download link for this small (2MB) patch: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB958502/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=1736 I want to emphasize that this patch is intended for all JavaScript files, not just those related to jQuery . Generally, we will opportunistically look for documentation files related to the script file. For example, given "mylibrary.js", we will search in the same directory for: mylibrary -vsdoc .js, then if we don't find it we will search for... mylibrary .debug .js, then if we don't find it we will search for... mylibrary.js The idea...
A while back we updated IntelliSense to not fail when referencing jQuery. However, getting IntelliSense for chained calls and rich summary/parameter hints still required adding special comments to a few thousand lines of jQuery. If you didn't have the time, you could download such a file from friendly members of the community such as James and Brennan . As part of our new partnership with jQuery , yesterday we announced the availability of the official IntelliSense documentation file. As you can see, our friends at jQuery have added a new download link for Visual Studio at http://docs.jquery.com/Downloading_jQuery#Download_jQuery . You can also download the file directly from http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.2.6-vsdoc.js . As you might guess...
Colorization, validation, IntelliSense, and formatting comprise the core of any modern editor. With VS 2008 SP1, we are completing the core JScript editor by introducing code formatting. Additionally, we have promoted JScript to a dedicated node in “Tools Options” providing a clean separation from the HTML “Tools Options”. We realize many folks have been waiting for this feature and we’re excited to be able to finally provide it. We’re using “beta” period to fine tune the feature for final release. Thus, we would love to hear any feedback you have. There are two areas in particular I’d like to highlight: Correctness – It goes without saying that code integrity is of highest priority. We’ve done extensive testing to make sure nothing beyond the...
I've noticed quite a few people run into the issue "Why is design mode empty for my web user control (ASCX)?". It's not obvious what might be causing this bug, so I thought I'd offer an explanation and a couple workarounds. Problem You have a user control that has a "link" tag to an external style sheet or a "style" tag with local styles at the top of the page. Immediately below the style, you have a web control (such as a Wizard control) that contains the bulk of the content. You attempt to edit this user control in design view and all you see is an empty page. Here's a trivial example: Explanation Design view was originally created to handle full HTML pages where the "body" and "head"...
