Visual Studio 2010: Javascript Highlighting

I am using VisualStudio 2010 with VS.PHP. When I write or open a javascript file, it is not highlighted, and intellisense does not work. All I see is plain text. VS doesn't seem to “identify” the javascript file. When I manually order js files to open in the Script editor (in Tools> Options> Text editor> File extension), nothing changes. Highlighter in (under Tools> Options> Environment> Tools & Colors). Do you have any ideas how I can trigger the backlight? Google doesn't say anything.

I had the same problem and I found a solution that works for me.

  • Open VS 2010
  • Select Tools / Options ... in the menu
  • Open the text editor / file extension properties page.
  • Add an entry for the "js" file extension and set the "Script Editor" to edit

I still don't know why this does not work out of the box, but at least it fixes the problem.

You probably uninstalled the Web Developer 2010 component during the installation of Visual Studio. Or you are using one of the Express editions.
