Recently, with the help of my fellow ex-SlideShare buddy Sri Prasanna, I started learning bit of JavaScript for my interaction design needs. JavaScript has always fascinated me & considering in today’s time all the browser vendors out there are trying to make JavaScript compiling as fast as possible, combined with the advent & arrival of HTML5… JavaScript is sure to take on the world.

However, I don’t know JS programming, though I have been reading by the tutorials at Eloquent JavaScript as suggested by Prasanna, but I was still looking for something which will let me do my interaction design, without going into coding. This is where ixEdit hails.

 

ixEdit is a visual JS coding tool. It comes as a JavaScript file package only combined with CSS & works under your browser. You can simply add 2 lines of code to your HTML & rapidly start to design stuff in the browser itself with real time results.

It uses Google Gears to store the changes & JS as you are working, on your local computer only as long as the filename or browser doesn’t changes. This I hope will be changed to HTML5’s “File” feature for local storage.

The best part is, you can make all the interaction, events you want & then just deploy them at which ixEdit will give JS code which you can either put in your HTML file itself or modify to include in a separate JS file.
