There are some tools you can get to make the browser-side stuff easier.
In the open source realm, there are Quanta+, Bluefish, NVu and Screem. I
think Bluefish is the most popular and NVu is the most WYSIWIG.

There is, if you're willing to pay for it, the Komodo IDE for dynamic
languages. There is a new project starting up called OpenKomodo which is
releasing most of the browser-side technology into the open source
mainstream. In any event, they've heavily exploited Mozilla technology,
and this might be a good thing to hook into. The URL is

I have the regular paid Komodo IDE and I love it.
