JS based JS Editor with code-completion

Hey Guys Anybody knows a Editor where i can develop my JS directly in the Browser with a js based Editor?

It would be nice if the code completion is customizable so that you can add own objects and methods, possibly documentation for each method / object. Code completion is not required for the objects that come with javascript (like window) as we're using Mozilla's JS Framework Rhino.

Thanks in advance

Best Regards Flexo

The only browser based JS/page editor that I know of is Mozilla's Bespin, https://bespin.mozillalabs.com , but I have no idea if they do code-completion.

There is a JS tool called JSLint from the Crockenator (Douglas Crockford) which you might find helpful, http://www.jslint.com. No code-completion, but it lets you write good JavaScript.

My two cents.

JsFiddle is used in a lot of examples on this site (no code completion).

@sje397. Didn't know about JsFiddle. Looks pretty neat.

There's another one that's very similar and I think a little older, but I can't remember what it was called.

@Tim Down - yes, that's the one. Cheers.

I was introduced to JsFiddle from SO as well, great site! I don't think auto-completion will ever be as powerful as in IDE's for compiled langs (i.e Eclipse). It's just one of the tradeofs with dynamic languages... Though it would be nice!

I just stumbled across a JavaScript implementation of vi. But that doesn't do autocompletion.

this one claims to do so, though. I know nothing else about it, though.
