Which is the best IDE available for Javascript development?

+4  A: 

Here is a list of the best for you:

If you choose Aptane, take a look at Introduction of Javascript IDE - Aptana. Also take a look at this similar question: Good Javascript IDE With Jquery Support.

Bold = Best in Intellisense

Happy Coding!

In addtion to those links that Nathan gave, you can also download Visual Web Developer 2008 Express with have Javascript Intellisense intalled now. If you feel like living on the edge, for right now you can use the new 2010 Beta versions of the Visual Web Developer IDE which has jquery intellisense built in.

Good luck with your hunt, and hope this helps some.

For javascript I think the lighter the better. Nothing worse than an IDE that has a bunch of bulky compiler support to edit a language that doesn't use a compiler. My favorites are Kate for linux and TextPad or EditPlus for windows.

Take a look at WebStorm HTML/Javascript Editor. It's lightweight smart editor with DOM-based autocompletion, that supports debugging and running your code right from IDE.
