Seriously. If you are coding javascript in Textmate and not using this, you are really missing out. It is a fantastic plugin for Textmate that allows you to very easily run JSLint on your code and compress it with your pick of compressors. Every time you save a javascript file, it will validate it automatically and let you know right away if there are any problems. It will keep you from having the trailing comma issue hit you in IE. This plugin needs to be manually installed, which is easy to do if you have never done it before. All you need to do is clone the git repository into your Bundle directory. cd ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles git clone git://github.com/subtleGradient/javascript-tools.tmbundle.git If you want to update the plugin after that, just do a git pull and you are all set. Here is the project link if you want to follow them on GitHub. http://github.com/subtleGradient/javascript-tools.tmbundle/tree/master
