My setup doing javascript stuff

(Updated some links)

My latest project has been heavily javascript based and it must work on IE6. (It works on FF and Safari aswell ofcourse, but that just my pride not the clients demands). The tools I’m using for javascript coding are:

Software:

• Textmate - the texteditor. Has javascript syntax coding but that’s it. Coda or Komodo are actually more competent.
• CSS-Edit - This is the best thing that has ever happened the poorly written CSS-standard.
• VMWare fusion - for running a windows XP box on my powerbook. The windows machine runs a notesserver and IE6.
• Safari - For keeping some reference materials on-screen
• Firefox - This is where I test and debug my code

Add-ons:

• Safari - turn on developermode, it’s actually very competent
• Firefox - firebug ofcourse
• IE6 - Debugbar and companionjs. Not even close to what firebug does but I think it’s the best we can get.

References:

• JSLint - for validating javascript. To be honest this only helps me when the code is almost good. It’s of no use when something is badly broken.
• extjs.com - This is the javascript framework I’m using for this particular project
• CSS2 reference
