  • A JavaScript editor is computer software that allows the editing of program source code for the JavaScript language with features that make it easier to produce correctly functioning objects and functions. Editors for JavaScript typically color and arrange the indentation of the program as the programmer types them in. Other common features of editors include: * "intelligent completion" — displaying a list of words beginning with the letters already typed and allowing the person using the editor to select between options or continue typing * execution of the program one line at a time or using checkpoints * browser previews * editing of HTML pages with a visual interface (allowing, e.g., changing text to bold or italic by highlighting the word and pressing a screen button) * integration with other source languages, such as HTML and PHP showing colorized text for those languages, too * syntax validation Web pages that use JavaScript often are be described as DHTML (a.k.a., Dynamic HTML) if they change their appearance as the mouse moves around or AJAX pages if they use JavaScript in conjunction with asynchronous communication with the server (meaning that a portion of the web page is not required to be loaded at the same time as the rest of the page, usually delayed until a triggered event such as a mouse-click or mouse-over) and the underlying grammar of communication is XML. Other editors with a wider focus--such as AJAX support--accommodate multiple languages at the same time (including JavaScript). (en)
