IntelliPrompt

The IntelliPrompt feature displays helpful popup lists and tooltips containing information about syntax items as you type in Document Source view. This feature can be found on the Document Source editor toolbar.

This feature is extremely helpful when coding manually and saves you typing time as well as time for looking at syntax references for various languages.
IntelliPrompt currently supports prompting for HTML tags, HTML attributes, ASP objects, JavaScript objects, and DHTML objects.

IntelliPrompt Settings

To change the interval at which the IntelliPrompt waits to display, go to the Settings dialog window.

Displaying IntelliPrompt

If you have IntelliPrompt enabled, it will display in the following situations:
  • Editing a HTML-like document with ASP or PHP parsing active
    • Typing a < character displays the HTML tag list
    • Typing a space character displays the HTML attribute list
    • Typing a . (period) character after an ASP object displays the object's members
  • Editing a HTML-like document with ASP or PHP parsing active or a JavaScript or VBScript document
    • Typing a . (period) character after a DHTML or JavaScript (if in JavaScript script block) object displays the object's members
    • Typing a space or ( character after a DHTML or JavaScript (if in JavaScript script block) collection or method displays the collection or method's parameters

Inserting IntelliPrompt Selections

If an IntelliPrompt list is displayed, you can use the up and down arrow keys to navigate the list. Pressing escape will cancel using the list, while the tab, space, and enter keys all insert the currently selected item. For tag lists, if you press space, the cursor will remain within the tag after tag insert and will popup the attribute list. You can also use the mouse to double-click and select an item.
