Something with a nice GUI and a debugger, preferably. Thanks! :KS

Hmm.. I am not sure if there are any specialized javascript IDEs, but you could search around for Firefox extensions that do that.I believe the Venkman debugger is supposed to be one of the top javascript debugger.

Well, atleast that's what turned up when I tried to Google Search for "javascript debugger" and hit the I'M feeling lucky button.

Yeah I have firebug installed on Firefox. I'm trying out Screem right now, it was in the depositories, seems to look pretty nice. :)

There's also the Eclipse WTP package, which has JavaScript, (X)HTML, XML, and CSS editors, as well as a bunch of J2EE related stuff, you can find that at http://www.eclipse.org/webtools . Zend also just released a PHP IDE to use with the Eclipse WTP as well, which you can find at http://www.zend.com/phpide . That said, Eclipse is probably a bit overkill, and you could easily get by with a syntax highlighted text editor.

Yeah I tried playing with eclipse and couldn't figure it out. gedit seems to be the best thing I could find, and I use firebug and DOM inspector in Firefox. It's a pretty nice combination.

The question was asked almost 5 years ago.
