  1. Ensure you have the jquery vsdoc file in your project scripts folder.
    1. Right click on project
    2. Manage Nuget packages
    3. Install latest version of JQuery
  2. Simply include a reference to this file in your header as below

    <script src="Scripts/jquery-1.8.0.min.js"></script>
    <script src="Scripts/jquery-ui-1.8.23.min.js"></script>
    <script src="Scripts/jquery-1.8.0-vsdoc.js"></script>
</head>

Javascript Files

Add the following file to the top of your JS file, ensure it’s at the very start of the file and not below a date or comment or it won’t work. (You can just drag it onto the open file from solution explorer)
