How do you get JavaScript/jQuery Intellisense Working in Visual Studio 2008?

Question

I thought jQuery Intellisense was supposed to be improved with SP1. I even downloaded an annotated version of jQuery 1.2.6, but intellisense will not work in a separate jscr

If you are including the annotated jQuery file in your source solely for intellisense, I recommend leveraging preprocessor directives to remove it from your view when you compile. Ala:

<% #if (false) %>
  
  
<% #endif %>

Then later in your code you can really reference jQuery. This is handy when using the Google AJAX Libraries API, because you get all the benefits Google provides you, plus intellisense.
