NetBeans jQuery plugin code completion

Question

I'm using NetBeans for PHP. When I edit a .js file, it gives me JavaScript code completion. How can I get it to also give me jQuery code completion?

NetBeans 6.9 code auto-complete is not working for jQuery plug-ins.

The code auto-complete is working for jQuery but not for plug-ins such as the validate plugin.

Is this a bug in NetBeans 6.9?

I add jquery.js to include path of project and it's working fine for me.

Answer 2

I was having the same problem. I have Netbeans 7.2.1 under linux (in an Oracle VirtualBox).

• I had copied the jquery library 1.10.2 (not minified) into my own project
• I had added the path into the Project Properties > PHP Include path
• I still had no auto-complete

I found a solution based on How to include js file in another js file? I type out the following in the header:

var imported = document.createElement('script');
imported.src = 'jquery-1.10.2.js'; // I put the jquery library in the same folder
document.head.appendChild(imported);

Now I get auto-completion!
