I was delighted to see javascript intellisense in Visual studio 2010 , but I don't see everything inside a particular object through it , in the below code

if (document.images[i].parentNode.tagName == "A"

"parentNode" doesn't shows up in intellisense which made me think that I was typing wrong code ,but it do exists and Visual studio doesn't show it..

How to fix this ?

Update Progress:

  • Used NetBeans 7.1 it didn't helped me in JavaScript,
  • Installed JScript Extensions for VStudio 2010 ,some improvements in js editing but no improved in Javascript intellisense,

If you want to improve the default JavaScript experience in Visual Studio 2010 you need to install the JScript Extensions.

In VS > Tools > Extension Manager > Search for JScript

You will then be able to install the following extensions:

  • JScript Brace Matching Extension
  • JScript Editor Extension
  • JScript IntelliSense Para Extension
  • JScript Outloning Extension
  • JScript WOrk Highlighter Extension

Good luck!
