Lack of javascript intellisense in Visual Studio 2010
Solution 1
Out of the box you have some support for JavaScript in Visual Studio 2010 but it doesn't really cut it.
At the moment I am using Resharper 6.1 (Visual Studio plugin) which does cut it. It does exactly what you expect plus lots more. It's not free but I can advise it to anyone.
Solution 2
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!
Solution 3
I do Unity3D game development, and my primary IDE is MonoDevelop. MonoDevelop with Unity3D appears to have strong support for JavaScript. Since I mostly do c#, I cannot say much about it, but you can play around with it.

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,
