CRM 2011 JavaScript IDE

Question

I am looking for some sort of tool which does not necessarily need to be CRM specific, rather i am just looking for some sort of javascript compiler which will detect basic syntactic issues ahead of time.

Visual Studio seems to ignore things like:

var fetchXml = new String();
fetchxml = "fetchstring";

I had a look at apanta studio 3 which seemed pretty cool but it did not pick up basic syntactic issues like i'd hoped for...

Answer 1

Have a look at JSLint . It's a plugin for VS that detects possible issues ahead of time. You can set it up to interpret your files on save, build, etc.
