Near the top of that page, I see " Click here to Buy Now". The download
page includes "EditPlus Text Editor is distributed as Shareware. You can
download the evaluation version and try it for 30 days. If you find it
useful and decide to keep using EditPlus Text Editor after the
evaluation period has expired, you must buy a license.".

While we're at it, are there any development environments for
JavaScript around, where you can edit and run and debug all in
the same window?

Eclipse makes a half-hearted attempt at auto-completion, but it
doesn't work most of the time. And to my knowledge you can't
debug in it.

I know Firebug and the debugger built into Internet Explorer 8,
and they are both fairly good, but you cannot edit in them.

I think Chrome has an Eclipse debugger, though I've not used it.
Blackberry has an Eclipse debugger that I have used.

I'd like to set up IE for debugging in Eclipse, but don't know how.

The problem as I see it is that Eclipse is originally a Java IDE, and
plugins are developed by Java people (JSDT is apparently developed by IBM).
Few of them appear to understand that you cannot program in a prototype-
based language like you would in a class-based language. They (need to)
mistake function identifiers for class names (but only if their `prototype'
property is involved), for example, to get Eclipse recognize constructors
and prototype properties. And to date JSDT does not appear to support any
object literals at all.

Auto-completion works better, though, if you add the necessary libraries in
your project (i.e. "ECMAScript Built-In Library", and e.g. "ECMA 3 Browser
Support Library", "Internet Explorer Support Library", and "FireFox Support
Library"); it can also be useful to set the Default 'SuperType' to
"Window() in ECMA 3 Browser Support Library" once you added it. (Of
course, you should not be complaining about missing auto-completion before
you have added "JavaScript Support" to your project under the project's
context menu's Configure submenu. I made that mistake once ;-))

Are you saying Chrome and BlackBerry would run Eclipse on debugging?

Plugin description says it should be possible using the Ajax Toolkit
Framework (ATF) now integrated into the Web Tools Platform (WTP), but AIUI
you need to start MSHTML from within Eclipse (in case you though vice-
versa). I have not tried it because Microsoft Script Debugger sufficed for
me to date.
