CS4 jquery support

Hi, I just updated to Dreamweaver CS4. One of the new features mentioned was code hinting and coloring for jQuery. I can't find it anywhere. Not in preferences and not in help. What am I missing? Also, somebody wrote in this forum about jQuery widgets. Are these natively installed with CS4 or do I need to download the extensions? Last question: Jquery and live view doesn't seem to work. Is this the case or am I doing something wrong?

Hope somebody can shine some light on the Jquery features. Thanks!

Please notice that "Important Note:" at the bottom of every page in the
Adobe Web forums (at least the FuseTalk Web forums).

This is a user to user peer support forum. Adobe employees rarely participate
here. If you want an answer from Adobe, you'll need to contact them directly
using the support channels.

Don't know where you got your information from, but CS4 does not have
specific support for jQuery. It does, however, have JavaScript code
introspection. This means that you get code hints for any JavaScript
function that is included in the same page or in a page that is directly
linked to the current page. As a result, you get *some* jQuery code hints.

Click the Extend Dreamweaver control in the Application Bar (it looks
like a cog), and select Browse for Web Widgets.

You're doing something wrong. Live view displays jQuery (and any other
JavaScript) dynamic features without problem.

Thanks for your response. I read about the code hinting on several places on the internet, e.g. David Hayden's blog, second bullet. Somehow this wrong info spread around the web. But nevermind, it seems there is an extension for jQuery code-hinting. I will try that and I will do dome more tests on running jQuery in Live view.
