JavaScript Code Assist missing browser objects? [message #693570]

Am I doing something wrong, or are the generic browser objects document, window and screen not recognized by the JavaScript code assist unless they are explicitly declared?

If I type document. in a .js file, I don't get any recommendations. However, if I add declare document = new Document(); at the start of the file, it works as you'd expect.

Is there a means of setting the context for the .js file or some other way to tell Code Assist that this file will be accessed within a rendered DOM document?

Assuming you're using Indigo, does the project's JavaScript>Include Path
property page's Libraries tab include the browser library? On the
Global SuperType tab, is Window set as the default?
