automatic indent and clean up of js code?

[ivanhoe]

I need something like html tidy, but for javascript...to fix code
indentation, converts tab/spaces, removes white space, etc...maybe even fast
check sintax and warn on compatibility issues, but I guess it's too much to
ask (?!)

if you have positive expirience with some application(or perl/php script)
that knows how to properly do this (and is customizible and maybe also free
or at least cheap?), please speak up, since all progs I tried so far were
(very) far from perfect...


thanx in advance,
ivan

jslint, a 'script validator':

That is why you will write your own.

astyle (in addition to the lint you've already been told about.)

both free of course.

You might consider www.semanticdesigns.com/Products/Formatters.
We offer prettyprinters for many languages. It does everything
you ask for above, except for warn about incompatibility issues.
