what dev tools (IDE/etc.) for AJAX?

[mattedelman]

Hi Members,

I have been coding HTML and JavaScript for several years but am still using HomeSite primarily. It doesn't really provide much in the way of IDE tools for developing DHTML. My development style is still very much trial and error. Now I'm becoming more involved with AJAX toolkits out of necessity and am finding that I will need to fuse certain kits together (primarily using ZK but it looks like I will need to augment ZK with EXT components). The amount and complexity of the JavaScript code is much more than I'm used to with custom scripts and my method of developing is not up to the task.

What application(s) do you use for DHTML development? Is there some plug-in for Eclipse that makes coding and troubleshooting DHTML easier? Or some other editor/IDE I should know about? I have just started using Firebug, which makes me feel like I'm on the right track in updating my skills and tool set. What next?

Thanks,
Matt

There are several other threads regarding this. Try searching on IDE or Aptana.

Thanks. I had searched for IDE (no results). Searching for Aptana turned up a lot and I wouldn't have known to search for that without your help.
