# Displaying Code Assist [edit]

This page describes how to display the information provided by the Code Assist feature.

## Introduction

As you code, Code Assist provides tips on available properties and methods and the parameters that a method takes. See About Code Assist for a detailed explanation about Code Assist.

## Instructions

To display the tips provided by Code Assist:

- Code Assist automatically pops up a context menu or yellow tip box as you type the name of an object or function that Code Assist applies to.

- To display a longer Tool Tip, press F2 while your cursor is on the function or object. (You can also select ShowToolTip from the Edit menu while your cursor is on the function or object.)

## Getting code assist to work with .sdoc files

To get code assist to work with a .sdoc file, just rename the ".sdoc" file to have the same name as the included (js) file. Eg. To get code assist working with the jQuery min distribution ("jquery-1.2.2.min.js"), rename "jquery.sdoc" to "jquery-1.2.2.min.sdoc".
