OT: Javascript Editor

Hello there,
This is Off-Topic but I thought would ask here in case any other developers
have any ideas.
I have started using jQuery (jquery.com) and am after a decent
Javascript editor that does not only support code colouring but also if
possible IntelliSense for the the aforementioned js library and of course
for js itself.
I currently use Notepad to edit my javascript files, but it means I have to
constantly refer to the jquery website to make sure I have got the calls right
etc. Never realised I relied on Intellisense inside Delphi so much <g>
Anyone know of any decent editors that support this?
I've tried Aptana but found it so incredibly slow it was unusable, and I
would also prefer an editor that is not written in Java as they all seem
relatively slow :)
Regards
Anthoni

Komodo supports javascript. I believe the free Komodo Edit will do what

you want. There's also a specific extension for jQuery you might find
useful:

You can try NetBeans as well, but that is a java based IDE; however I

don't find it slow.

PSPad is an all around text editor with highlighting support for

JavaScript as well as other languages. I use this for most of my text
editing. it is free.

A very nice programmer's editor that does support Javascript is Zeus.
It's a commercial product, and well worth it.

I don't know of any that offer intellisence but a very good free one,

written in Delphi, BTW, is FirstPage 2000.
