I'm sure someone is going to post this eventually so I'll just get it over with.. sorry!
uumm.. notepad?

Damnit, you beat me to it!
Notepad is good for all types of code editing. Now if you're talking like "WYSIWYG" JavaScript generation.... you should go and learn JavaScript - disreguard if you already do know JS
Thanks guys. I want to get a copy of Visual Studion .NET, but for now I just need something to get by. Hopefully with more features than notepad.

Whadya mean? Notepad has everything.... search, replace, goto.... what else do you need?
Now I do know of an editor that I just randomly found and occasionaly use for advanced replacing and it's called UltraEdit. It works well for what it does.I do also use GWD Text editor for one feature, column select mode.
Can't tell ya how many times that has come in handy!

It's fine if you turn off wordwrapping... It's a Plain-Jane text editor - all any good programmer needs. Now if I'm working in MSVB on a DLL, I'll just use the built in editor in the app instead of notepad. But beyond VB DLLs and an occasional VB EXE, I do all of my code editing (HTML, JS, ASP, VBScript (for non-web apps), T-SQL, etc.) in notepad.
So what do you do when you get a compiler error that looks like "Unmatched curly bracket at [last line of file]"? Look through the whole file by hand? How about if you need to replace every instance of array[n] with array[n-1]? Search for "array" and do al lrthe edits manually?
Notepad doesn't include any of the features that would actually make it a good editor. Hell, it doesn't even have line numbering.
I don't find myself making typos - usually just logic errors.... rarely
. If I have to find a line I just use goto - and if I really need line numbering, I just use FrontPage's (LOL) built in text editor since it does.EDIT PLUS!!
Use this, and you will never go back. I stumbled on this program over a year ago just searching the web for editing programs and this is the one I liked the best. it not only does Javascript coloring and such but ASP and many others too. It is an evaluation, but even after the evaluation runs up it will still let you use it with ALL features enabled.

while you CAN edit in notepad, i find it a royal PITA. its so much easier to write stuff with color syntax, a tab interface to jump between open files, line numbering thats visible on the screen (jump-to-line sucks), etc. Vim seems pretty sharp but takes a while to get used to. Editpad lite is pretty good as a basic editor.
Thanks for the help guys! I'm still in a bit over my head with this internship. I've mainly only used Java and C++. Now I have to get a grasp on a large web/database environment. I have to figure out ASP, SQL, and JavaScript on the fly. :Q
