Notepad++ is a great editor for JavaScript and various other forms of code.

It has a lot more enhancements over the standard Notepad tool provided by Microsoft in Windows.

They are avaialble from http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

When you write a file and are saving, change the type part of the entry to JavaScript (.js)

This adds context colouring to the code which is very useful for troubleshooting AND makes code easier to read.
