[AccessD] Burn-out

An IDE? Debugging? Real men don't need these....Notepad is good enough. ;-)

Actually, Chrome has an excellent resource console. Just highlight any
object on the browser screen, right-mouse-click and select inspect element
from the popdown menu. Then there is a nice little debugger and resource
(CSS as well) viewer plug-in you can get with FireFox (and Chrome) called
the Web Developer; great for monitoring bugs in real time. Though you just
install it as a plug-in the developer's site is:
http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer. 

ASIDE: I am sure there are similar features for IE, but most of my
development work is done in Chrome and FF and I just use IE for
compatibility as until IE8-9, development was a nightmare on the product as
it didn't followed the industry standards. The reason JQuery was initially
created was to help with these compatibility issues. (I have a browser check
on my applications and warn the user to install a modern browser if it
detects older versions...or just jumps to another set of pages.) There are
some Opensource structures that have a set of JavaScript, CSS and HTML that
can start you of with the best universal compatibility if you are building
from scratch and you do not know your audience.  

Commercially there is 1st JavaScript Editor:

as it is simple and basic and works great: http://www.pnotepad.org/

Javascript is great, but has been plagued with terrible IDE and debugging
