Intellisense doesn't work for JS in VS2013

Question

Intellisense works for JavaScript but not jQuery.

I have followed these recommendations HERE, but I do not think they work for VS2013 any more.

Since this is my first question, I cannot post images, but my error is identical to the thread linked within this message. The only difference is that I am using vs2013 professional.

I have placed photos on the MSDN forum so you can see my error HERE

tried to drag the jquery file on top of the Js file where you want to use intellisense :) meanwhile check this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11488208/intellisense-doesnt-work-for-js-in-vs2012 — Anirudha Gupta, Nov 27 '13 at 02:30
Yes sir, I have done that. I then reset intellisense ctrl + shift + J, and then cleaned and built the solution. Still no dice. Is there possibly a vs2013 bug? — Brian Emmerling, Nov 27 '13 at 02:47
You can report it on connect.microsoft.com but it will take a long time to get response from them. — Anirudha Gupta, Nov 27 '13 at 02:52

I see from your comments that you have this working now, but I'll follow-up with the same response I used on the Microsoft Connect bug reported for this item, in case someone else comes upon this question.

I followed the link to the MSDN forum post at:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/4d9a69e8-38cf-4fe8-9c9f-271d03a19be1/visual-studio-2013-jquery-intellisense-not-fully-working?forum=wpdevelop

From this post, it looks like the issue is with the JavaScript source:

function person(name, age) {
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
}

var me = person(brian, 39);

When typing "me." you are shown a generic list of identifiers (i.e. names) in the source. This is because the source is not valid JavaScript when executed. First, the person function is being used as a constructor and so you need to use "new person(" to call it. Second, the name brian is used like a variable, but I assume it's supposed to be a string "brian". Here's a corrected version of this source that should fix your issue:

function person(name, age) {
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
}

var me = new person("brian", 39);

I hope this helps! - Jordan (Microsoft Visual Studio, JavaScript tools team)

Jordan thanks, I was going to come back and update. You are correct. That line hosed the intellisense for me until it was fixed. — Brian Emmerling, Dec 06 '13 at 13:01

Visual studio 2012 update 4 is more stable then latest 2013 version.

Everything you can do in 2013 can easily done in Visual studio 2012. I have seen many people puzzling a lot for fix the common thing.

Save your time and try VS 12 update 4. You feel it's better stable then 2013.

Hope this help !

Ok, I will try that in the AM and report back. – Brian Emmerling Nov 27 '13 at 03:29
The snippet solution works on VS 2012. Thank you for the help. – Brian Emmerling Nov 27 '13 at 23:17
UPDATE:: JQuery intellisense has started working for me in VS2013. Some depreciated function such as innerHeight do not, and sometime when you introduce new keywords (ie a function name or variable name, it can get buggy.) The only thing new I did was create a JavaScript Project. Then I closed it, and reopened my WP8 solution and jquery intellisence was working. – Brian Emmerling Nov 30 '13 at 04:19

In VS : go to the "Tools > Options > Text Editor > JavaScripts >IntelliSense >References" And add jquery-version.intellisense.js reference to the list of references and restart visual studio. it works for me. Hope this help !
