I am working on a ASP.Net project creating a Outlook like calendar scheduler app.
I need to implement javascript on the webpages, but VS 2005 that I am using now is not very helpful, like intellisense or debugging,etc.. in case of javascript. I am planning to use jQuery in the app too.
Questions :
-
Is there some feature of VS 2005 that helps in javascript, that i dont know, or should I move to VS 2008 (is it better than VS 2005 in this regard?) ?
-
And also tell me a good IDE to practice javascript, in a HTML-Javascript environment. I am not going to use Rails or PHP or python.
Thanks.
It would be helpful for you to provide details on what sort of ‘help’ you’re looking for.
VS2008 has better JavaScript support than VS2005 in general, including JavaScript debugging. Here’s a link from Scott Guthrie about VS2008 JavaScript support.
With jQuery, you can add intellisense to Visual Studio to help you out. Here’s another link to a post from Scott Guthrie about enabling the intellisense.
