Method expression is not of Function type

I have the following JavaScript file:

/*global $ */

function foo() {
    'use strict';
    var $tr = $('table tr'),
        $td = $tr.children('td');

    $td.html('Hello World');
}

In PHPStorm, children gets underlined with a weak warning. Mousing over it reveals this message:

Method expression is not of Function type

This file is in the same directory as jquery.min.js (v. 1.11.0, if that matters).

How can I fix this?

Note that the above example is a minimalist example sufficient to reproduce the problem; it's not my actual code, but it will product the same result.

This is usually associated with phpstorm so either download and use the Jquery uncompressed version or use Jquery with CDN, it will be resolved.

Another solution would be to add jQuery as a library here:

Settings/Preferences dialog, click JavaScript under Languages and Frameworks, then click Libraries.

I have my answer thanks to Arun P Johny. I needed to have jquery-1.11.1.js (the uncompressed version) somewhere in my project. I added it, and PHPStorm immediately resolved all jQuery-related warnings.
