Have you faced issues with the Visual Studio 2008 Intellisense for jQuery. There are some issues of the intellisense not working with jQuery 1.3.2 vsdoc.

Some solutions:

- Install the hotfix for full jQuery Intellisense in VS 2008 http://blogs.msdn.com/webdevtools/archive/2008/11/07/hotfix-to-enable-vsdoc-js-intellisense-doc-files-is-now-available.aspx

- Download the latest jQuery vsdoc file from here http://code.google.com/p/jqueryjs/downloads/list

Meghan & Jake said...: I was running into this problem too. I resolved it by making sure the name of the vsdoc file has the exact same name as the jquery js for your page. I was using Google's API via:

src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"

I had to rename the vsdoc file to "jquery.min.js" as in this snippet:

src="Shared/Scripts/jquery.min.js">
