The Best Source For HiTech
Hey, I'm an aspiring web developer, and I'm wondering if there is any program that helps with handling java script, as I still haven't really gotten the hang of it. I'm mostly interested in making interactive web pages and animations (I animate a bit in Maya and flash), so it doesn't have to be javascript, it could be for say action script or ?? any tips appreciated.

Really depends on what you want.
For actual Java, there’s NetBeans (requires Java SDK)http://www.netbeans.org/
For JavaScript, get a copy of FireFox and install the ExecuteJS add-on.http://www.mouseless.de/index.php?option…
ActionScript is part of Flash.http://www.adobe.com/
EDIT
And don’t let anyone talk you into using FrontPage. That “program” makes “code” that works in IE only. It’s only “slightly” better than using Word… like killing 99 sheep is only slightly less worse than killing 100.
Want a decent HTML editor that lets you keep control of your code, get Microsoft’s Visual Web Developer Express Edition… which is freeware.

jEdit is one program you might want to look into:http://www.jedit.org/
Keep in mind that for obvious reasons there is essentially no such thing as a WYSIWYG editor for Javascript. You’ll need to load the page in a browser to see the script in action. However jEdit should be able to help you with the syntax. If you use Firefox, you can also download Firebug to help debug your scripts.
