Not necessarily a full featured IDE, but for simple stuff I really prefer Notepad++ (free), also Visual Studio 2005 (commercial) is a great environment for working with Javascript files (and any web files in general).

Adding to ruscomp's suggestion: Microsoft Visual Web Developer Express is free and does a nice job, www.microsoft.com/express.
