[Javascript] JavaScript/PHP/HTML parsing engines

[Mike Dougherty]

I hope you are writing modular code and testing each piece before you
have 1,417 errors to debug at one time...

A lot of the "bugs" and confusion I've seen in the last few weeks/months
could have (in theory) been ameliorated somewhat by a good code-checking
routine -- either as an on-line service, or as a downloadable utility.
I for example use a hodge-podge of JavaScript, PHP, and HTML code which
would probably send most simple code-checkers screaming out the door.
IE and Netscape/Mozilla are kind enough to let you know when your code
is completely whacked, but their notion of line-numbers and originating
module names are pretty hilarious -- plus they don't do concordences,
and they always crash at the first fatal error -- rather tedious when
you have 1,417 of them.
 
Has anyone seen and/or found something that would help us feebs get a
grip on our code before harassing the bulletin board with our diverse
lack of insight?
