JavaScript Editor

JavaScript Editor can be used for professional editing JavaScript code and creating special effects for webpages using CSS, DHTML, JavaScript, and Ajax.



Freeware JavaScript Editor uses Intellisense to make simpler writing JavaScript code and make it more error-free. It can aid you to navigate through JavaScript code using built-in "Functions and Variables" navigator.

Combined color-coded syntax - for JavaScript, PHP, VBScript, CSS and so on. You can directly identify objects, comments, functions, methods, and other elements. Navigation to a declaration has been extended in JavaScript Creator, and now (in addition to functions, variables, etc.) it is also supported for JavaScript labels.

JSLint gets a JavaScript source and scans it. If it finds trouble, it describes the problem and gives location within the source. JSLint is embedded in the Editor. Just click on "Js Syntax Check in JSLint" in the Debugging menu or toolbar to verify selected text or the whole document.

Block Comments. You can comment on a part of JS code by selecting the code in the JavaScript Builder and pressing CTRL+/ (slash). Each line of the selected code is prefixed with //.

You can keep your context, find the information you need, insert language element directly into your code, and even have IntelliSense complete your typing for you.



Code formatter. If you employ some codes from external sources with dissimilar coding styles and standards you likely know how it is durable to read and maintain these codes. To help you in this subject, It has an exceptional source code beautifier / formatter, which allows you to convert and apply any style you want. You can arrange embedded JavaScript code (any web file), pure JavaScript (JS file) or selected text.

If you are involved in usages of any JavaScript word in the current webpage, try the Ctrl + Shift + F11 shortcut. All usages will be highlighted.

Use the program to export your files, As web pages, for placing them on the Internet, or as RTF files, for use in Microsoft Word and other text processors.
