Is there an advanced javascript editor out there that will do things like 'go to definition' similar to Visual Studio?

I have this JQuery/Javascript based project and the Visual Studio 2008 .JS file editor just isn't good enough, Notepad++ does better coloring and context highlighting but I am looking for an editor that will do more advanced things like auto-completion with my custom created objects and 'go to definition' style code navigation, for example.

Is there anything like this out there you could recommend?

The Zeus editor has an semi-automatic ctags feature and it uses this tag information to drive it's go to definition and auto complete features.

Generally the auto complete works well enough for static languages but for dynamic languages like Java Script it really does not work very well.

But ctags does pick up things like Java Script classes and functions so the go to definition feature should still work.

I would say check out vs2010 because it has a lot better support for javascript. Also if you really want to do some cool stuff check out resharper for visual studio as they are also adding support for javascript in their release. Makes my life a lot easier.
