One of the things that I like about Microsoft and it's great IDE, is IntelliSense.

On page 373 when entering a 'jQuery $('#Maincontent').css ' code, I get the css as a selection. That's great! But I don't get the css options, for example the 'background-color' to come up. Am I asking too much, and just have to know or find the css attributes?;-)

Hi Bob,

Unfortunately, yes, you are... ;-)

JavaScript, and thus jQuery, is a weakly-typed language.As such, you're not really passing in CSS properties that can be examined by IntelliSense. Instead, you define an anonymous object on the fly that just happens to be interpreted as CSS properties. There's no way (at least not in the most recent versions of Visual Studio / IntelliSense) for Visual Studio to provide IntelliSense on this.

Cheers,

Imar
