I want to start learning jQuery, but there's so much you can do with it. I'm interested in using PHP as well.
I understand that Visual Studio has intellisense for Javascript, but isn't that for ASP.NET? Can you build PHP applications in Visual Studio?
There is Aptana Studio with such support as well as full featured PHP editor.
See:
Aptana Studio makes jQuery so much easier
Code Assist for jQuery
You can use Eclipse aptana studio in eclipse PDT. Plugging Aptana to eclipse. Aptana has some intellisense for jQuery but beware that it's not complete since Javascript is a dynamic language and it's difficult to get a complete one.
Buy my honest take on jQuery intellisense. If you want to be a jQuery expert dump the intellisense part. Javascript is a dynamic language and that is the reason why these editors never work as intended. I used VisualStudio recently and never got what I intended.
You can get Visual Studio to have intellisense for jQuery - see jQuery 1.4.1 Intellisense with Visual Studio on Scott Gutherie's blog. Not for VS 2008 you need to install this patch.
you can build any applications with visual studio, but visual studio is waste...
have a look at eclipse, aptana's js editor has jQuery autocompletion.

My brother has been interested in learning Javascript and because Visual Studio has been a good program for me in C# I was wondering if it is possible to get Javascript onto Visual Studio. I have tried searching it up, but none of the results worked, is there a way? And if not, what are some good alternatives.
Yes you can do so by integrating javascript extension. There are project templates for js libraries (angular or react) in vs2019 for web applications when you start a new project.

But in all honesty, I think it is better to do js development in a ide like vs code, sublime or notepad++
I am currently trying to code on Eclipse using JavaScript, but I am having a lot of troubles when tying to add JavaScript to Eclipse. I followed the instructions on this website (JavaScript Editor Plugin for Eclipse), and everything was going well until step 9 of the first part. JavaScript Viewer is not one of the offered options in Editor Selection. I am very confused as to what to do. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you in advance :)
Version: Eclipse Oxygen on MacOS. Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a)
You could give the latest Eclipse IDE for JavaScript and Web Developers bundle a try.
It provides:
The essential tools for any JavaScript developer, including JavaScript, HTML, CSS, XML languages support, Git client, and Mylyn.
With this recent (2018) version of Eclipse, you should get a working JS-enabled IDE pretty fast as this is pre-bundled for the use-cases you are looking for:
JavaScript Development Tools
Eclipse XML Editors and Tools
[..]
Hope it helps.
FYI -- I ran into this problem with the latest version of eclipse [2020-06(4.16.0)]. It turns out they removed the Javascript editor from the install. See ref here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=564496
I am using eclipse for java coding. Can I use JavaScript in eclipse? If yes, How to use it? Please give ideas.
I use the excellent Aptana studio eclipse plugin.
If you want to edit Javascript within Eclipse, just install the WTP (Web Tools Project), there is one in there. Edit: You cannot execute Javascript from within Eclipse, but you can use, for example, Firefox with Venkman or Firebug to run the actual file in a browser.
I'm doing a lot of work in Javascript with Visual Studio .Net 2008. It would be nice to have some sort of plugin to do auto completion for Javascript (a bit like ctrl space and a list of options come up in Java/C# etc).
Is there such plugin/tool out there?
Thanks.
Yes.
Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1
I haven't tried it, but the VS2010 beta has even better Javascript Intellisense.
I just happened to read jQuery Intellisense Updates from Microsoft and was wondering if there was any editor or eclipse plugin available which provides intellisense complete or code assist. Are there any?
I believe eclipse, with the Aptana plugin, has some JQuery support.
As mentionned here, intellisense is supported:
5. Start coding.
As you type, notice that Code Assist is now active for the jQuery objects and functions that you use.
Press ctrl+space at any time to activate Code Assist.
Why not Visual Studio/Web Developer 2008 (or did I miss something)? The express edition is free.
You can use the standalone version of Aptana Studio, it's free and much lighter than the complete Eclipse.
Aptana provide Javascript code assist, but not intellisense.
True intellisense for Javascript currently provided only by three IDs:
NetBeans (open source)
IntelliJ Idea (proprietary web development)
MS Visual Studio (proprietary, free edition exist)
So the answer - NetBeans.
But, unfortunately none of these do this job well.
