I'm reading David Flanagan's "JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 6th ed".
It only actually tells users how to run JS code on page 311, where users are told of the following solutions:
"Client-side JavaScript code is embedded within HTML documents in four ways:
- Inline, between a pair of
<script>and</script>tags - From an external file specified by the
srcattribute in a<script>tag - In an HTML event handler attribute, such as
onclickoronmouseover - In a URL that uses the special javascript: protocol."
I was wondering what professional JS developers use to write and test their code: Do they use a good text editor with syntax high-lighting + autocompletion, hit F5 in the browser to reload the page every time they make a change, and use some add-on in the browser to investigate errors? Or are there full-fledged IDE's similar to MS VisualStudio for non-web languages?
