I use Notepad++ for the coding, and then test on my test sites (one on Windows/IIS and one on Linux/Apache). I have a few scripts with thousands of lines, and have never had an issue doing things this way.

Thanks . I use scite as editor, fairly basic but good and simple (like me!)

Obviously the days when one could use a 'record new macro' as a starter are long gone.

One obvious quirk is the Test Site has a "Master Style" and yet the Live one doesn't have one (in view).

Best place then, for a test bed, is on the main server!

One question that keeps bugging me is where to put files on the server. Some are obvious, such as "images"/"admincp" etc - but "includes""clientscripts" ?
