Visual Studio 2005 text editor
How can I change the appearance of the Text Editor in VS2005 so it formats correctly for JavaScript?
For example, if I use "//" to comment out a line of code, it should show the line with a Green colour and not trigger Intellisense to show an error.
Hope I am being clear. Thanks!

I'm unaware of such settings in VS2005, but the question is: why are you using such an old version? In VS2015 (current version) JavaScript is fully supported, even the intellisense: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2015/06/10/javascript-editor-improvements-in-visual-studio-2015/

Is VS2016 free?
There is also VS2017 in many flavours. Free?
Have to ask. Thanks.

OK...I just installed VS2016. I selected JavaScript as my environment and it does not correctly show the code. Is there something I am missing?

Hi, Visual Studio 2016, is not the full Visual Studio, it's called Code. You need Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition, here's the direct link: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691978&clcid=0x409
