    None that I know of, but there is little point (for Web scripting,
    anyway). An IDE would have to choose a particular user agent to emulate
    (probably IE), but all browsers expose different execution environments.
    However, successful execution in one browser doesn't guarantee success in
    any others.

    Again, assuming we're talking about Web scriptng, the best advice is to
    test both your mark-up and scripts in a browser that conforms well to the
    various standards. Both Mozilla (Suite and Firefox) and Opera fit that
    description, and both provide very useful Javascript consoles. For
    example, Opera's will not only tell you where the error occurred
    accurately (unlike IE), but it will also display an execution trace
    showing you the series of function calls that led to the error.

      With Mozilla you can install the Venkman JavaScript debugger to debug
      your scripts in Mozilla. You start the debugger from
      Tools->Web development->JavaScript debugger
