good way to test javascript?

Hi

I just wanted to hear if there a a good framework for testing javascript 
out there? I know selenium thats probably the best, but is there 
anything a little more light weight(something that could run with out 
opening browsers and maybe just parse the js and see if it's okay)? I 
dont know if I am asking about the impossible, but I'd feel stupid if 
there was something and i didnt know about it..

Hmm, im wondering if we could get a solution that would be integratable 
with wicket tester...? With rhino or jslint?

And yes I need to checkout your plugin! It seems to be cool:)
 It's both css and js compression/obfuscation right?

Hi,

For functionnal test : I used jwebunit (no need to have a web browser, I like the client (like WicketTester))
For testing validity of js : I use Rhino (check parsing) and jslint, there is several maven plugin to do the job.
As the author of yuicompressor-maven-plugin (I used it for both, you could disable compression/ofuscation => only parsing by Rhino)
On the site of yuicompressor-maven-plugin, there is link to other solution/competitor.
