I have moderate experience programming with Flex and now want to learn Javascript, but I have a question:

Is there a way to run the code directly from the software your are using to write the code (Aptana, Visual Script), instead of having to copy the html to the server folder? I ask this because I am used to run the code in FlashBuilder when I code with Flex and think that might be a similar way to test the application with Javascript?  Every time I want to test it I need to copy the file in a specific folder to the inetput/wwwroot folder and I was wondering if there is a better way.


So, what's the best way to test the map app if the ESRI Javascript api requires that the file is in a server folder (wwwroot)? Thank you

In Aptana, there is a "run as" button.  Make your code changes, "run as" and it'll open your page in a browser.  The project doesn't need to be published to inetpub/wwwroot folder each time you want to make/test a change.
