JavaScript Editor?

[marshalsea]

Does anyone know of a 'Free' JavaScript editor that works a bit like VB - I.e. gives you a pop up window of methods etc...<br><br>I'm working on a PC, and it's driving me nuts as I have no reference manuals (Some buggers walked off with it!) and it's proving difficult to remember syntax...<br><br>Cheers<br><br> <p>Ben Marshalsea<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>

I don't know of any free editors that highlight syntax and stuff like that, but Allaires Homesite is a wonderful tool and only runs about $99. Visual Interdev (probably much more expensive) uses intellisense technology to help you complete statements. I would go out and buy Pure Javascript,<br>if you're only looking for a reference. That's the best reference I've found, and has a little tutorial of "advanced" concepts at the beginning. Also read the tutorials at webmonkey and practive what they teach you.

Webmonkey definitely has some of the best JavaScript tutorials on the web. Off the web, I'd go with O'Reilly books. Software... well, I use Notepad ) so I don't think that would help... best of luck ) <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=

I use ultraEdit, because of some of its features. Mainly, the goto line, and the search and replace commands. It does cost about $30 dollars, but it has a free trial, (good and bad).<br><br> <p>theEclipse<br><a href=mailto:eclipse_web@hotmail.com>eclipse_web@hotmail.com</a><br><a href=robacarp.webjump.com>robacarp.webjump.com</a><br>**-Trying to build a documentation of a Javascript DOM, crossbrowser, of course.

HomeSite all the way! O'Reilly has the best books by far, or if you want to sink to a low, you can always use a generator like Dreamweaver.<br><br><br>-Vic

Now, Now..&nbsp;&nbsp;Dreamweaver is a pretty good product.&nbsp;&nbsp;I use it alongside Visual Interdev and like jaredn says it uses intellisense technology just like VB.&nbsp;&nbsp;You can also use VBScript on the same page.<br><br>(I'm a VB to JavaScript wannabe)

Allaire Homesite all the way. It recognizes a multitude of languages( perl, javascript,html,vbscript, asp, cfml, jsp among others) and provides great syntax highlighting. it also has a bunch of great macro buttons and the ability to create snippets and custom buttons. <br>
