Recently I wanted to implement a way of directly editing script files from my server on a browser window.

Looking around for prospective projects, the most prominent one looked as ACE:
http://ace.ajax.org/ from the Cloud9 IDE. Looked nice and I gave it a go for a day. Unfortunately, I found myself struggling to make it work as required for my purposes and it was not working under Internet Explorer.
A bit disappointed, I looked around the wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_JavaScript-based_source_code_editors and decided to try out CodeMirror:
http://codemirror.net/
Interesting enough, I got it working as intended under 30 minutes and it was working fine under IE as well as other browsers. As far as I'm concerned, CodeMirror has gained me as a fan of their project.
