Global intellisense for javascript and css in Visual Studio
Would be nice if Visual Studio would inspect the javascript and css files in the project and show intellisense for the files in partials, user control, master pages, pages, etc.

For those of you who haven’t checked out the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview, you’ll find this requested feature in there.

In VS2012, you can setup global implicit JavaScript intelliSense reference:

Hi Erik, yes I see the page inspector and it looks great, however no jvascript debugging (yet?) and we have to refresh the page for any change to show, Firebug is still the better choice in other words, thats a pitty, a big one.
So at this point I am thinking that javascript debugging and the need for page refresh should be considered a bug, not a feature request as the page inpsector give us an expectation to finally be able to stay in VS when deveoping for the web, without javascript debugging and instant gui changes based on changes made by the developer/designer that feature does NOT work as expected.
