Rails spinoffs - Apr 2008 - what javascript editor/IDE do you recommend for someone learning javascript & prototype code???

Hi,

What javascript editor/IDE do you recommend for someone learning
javascript & prototype code???

E.g. ability to step through code, make changes, rerun etc.  Would be
good for the IDE/editor to allow you to (a) edit the javascript and
(b) step through the javascript in the same window.

Thanks

oh really - I knew you could step through existing js code.  So you''re
saying I could open any html page and then in FireBug write some
javascript and then run/step through it?

Yes. Drop the keyword debugger anywhere in your Javascript and load it
up in Firefox with Firebug enabled, rock on :)

I don''t recommend running with Firefox 3 at the moment, still a few
things to work out.

How do you "clear" existing classes/objects so that your breakpoints
will trigger again.  When I first put the below HTML in a file and
opened it my breakpoints would work, but after hitting refresh the
javascript runs, but the breakpoints are not triggering in firebug?

------------my html file---------------------
<html>

    <head>
        <script language="javascript"
type="text/javascript">
            <!--

            function cat(name) {
                    this.name = name;
                    this.talk = function() {
                            alert( this.name + " say meeow!" )
                    }
            }

            cat1 = new cat("felix")
            cat1.talk() //alerts "felix says meeow!"

            cat2 = new cat("ginger")
            cat2.talk() //alerts "ginger says meeow!"

            //-->
        </script>
    </head>

    <body>
        Testing 123

    </body>

</html>
