Activate code assist for JavaScript [message #652696]

I've installed the eclipse IDE for JavaScript Web Developers.

I'm creating a JS project based on an existing folder, and in the initial wizard I add the JS Firefox and Internet Explorer libraries.

My Javascript is within <script> tags of HTML pages and I'm not receiving any hints or proposals on pressing Ctrl-Space. That is, I receive assistance for core JS (if, case, etc.) but nothing for 'window.' or 'document.'.

How can I activate this please? It's a little frustrating at the moment Mad

You shouldn't need both of these, and you probably want to just use the
generic browser library instead.

Make sure the web page is in a JavaScript Source Folder.
