Aptana!!
Aptana is still-in-early-development Eclipse-based (and therefore is written in Java) IDE for Web programmers.
It supports JavaScript, HTML, CSS syntax highlight, JavaScript syntax checking, auto-completion and even shows browser compatibility information for JS commands and CSS. You can work on levels of projects, as well as single-file editing. The IDE also supports various AJAX libraries, and you can even create projects based on AJAX libs you choose (incl. Prototype, Scriptaculous, Rico and many many more)
Absolutely, absolutely fantastic. Do, do yourself a favour and check Aptana out.
The only drawback for me is that it only supports UTF and Roman encodings, and none of Japanese-specific ones. Yeah I know in this age all sites should be created in UTF, but just.. I don't know.. can't get used to it. Being lazy I guess.

Works for me, looks pretty sweet. Pity it's in Eclipse though, that thing runs like a dog on my mac.
I might give it a go on my PC when I get home

yep :) works fine and i guess it must be really slow on your mac. but even with its slowness i think it will do save substantial amount of time trying to remember which functions exist where, which dom elements exist at all :) etc etc. very nice piece of software considering it is still version 0.3…
