My problem:

something: function () {
    Ext.blah(); //<-- a javascript statement I want to end up with
    Ext //<-- I begin to type it
    external. //<-- what Resharper autocompletes when I hit the dot key
    external.blah(); //<-- what I end up with without realising.
},

So two questions really:

  1. What is “external” from “dhtml.js” (a file which does not exist to my knowledge) and why does Resharper have such an attachment to it?
  2. I did some googling but found nothing comprehensive: is it possible to stop Resharper 7 complaining about implicitly defined global variables on a case by case basis rather than altogether? Perhaps by defining them in a list somewhere within Resharper?

    1. external is a global object (window object property). Seems to be Internet Explorer specific, see here. dhtml.js is an internal ReSharper file where all standart browser objects and properties are declared. JavaScript is not a static-typed language and there is no way to suggest completely correct items in code completion.

    2. If you don’t want to declare your Ext in your real JavaScript files, then you can create a dummy JavaScript file and define your Ext there. Simply Ext = {} would be enough. It would work even if you don’t reference this file from your real HTMLs.
