Im keen on learning javascript and ui design. Im using visual studio 2005 but find it difficult to debug code, I use firebug also. Is there a javascript editor with intellisense out there that I can get for free im have a hard time using the syntax and some of the helper mthods like parseint etc.
Any advice much appreciated.
Cheers

Visual Studio 2008 has better Javascript support. You can debug it like normal C# code, although it’s still buggy sometimes (it doesn’t seem to like to set a break point in the first line of a function for example, nested functions give it also a hard time).
Also there is Intellisense support now but it works so-so. It depends a lot on how which JS framework you’re going to use.
All in all, VS is surely not the best dev environment for JS around, but maybe the best compromise if you’re already familiar with it and developing for .NET anyhow.
