HTML formatter/tidy/beautifier for JavaScript

I'm looking for a good automated javascript cleaner (as in locates and fixes errors), similar to the w3c validator's cleaner function (that fixes the javascript errors).

Update: Thanks to a helpful responce I found my solution: Closure Linter.

@Matt Ball Im looking for a free online serivce that cleans javascript, not a program based in javascript that cleans html — Chris, Aug 19 '11 at 15:00

Try jsbeautifier to beautify your code and jslint to clean up its syntax.

@Chris: you're looking for something to fix errors in your code? Isn't that called a "programmer"? – maerics Aug 19 '11 at 15:05
+1 for a golden comment :) (and the right answer to the original question of course). – Jamie Dixon Aug 19 '11 at 15:07

If I understand you correctly, you might be interested in Google's Closure Linter, which, like JSLint, validates your code and reports problems, but also provides the possibility to fix them:

(...) you can substitute fixjsstyle for gjslint to automatically fix many of the errors that gjslint checks for.

Yes, thats exactly what I'm looking for.....how easy is it to use though? – Chris Aug 19 '11 at 15:09
@Chris: Have a look at the website. It's very easy, you just have to run `fixjsstyle path/to/file.js` (but also note comment about making backups). – Felix Kling Aug 19 '11 at 15:11

You didn't say that in your question. There's a big difference between "cleaning" and actually fixing your errors. – Jamie Dixon Aug 19 '11 at 15:05
Sorry, I reedited the question – Chris Aug 19 '11 at 15:05
also, this site does much more than just add/remove lines/whitespace. I usually use it for de-obfuscating code (and such like). – Jamie Dixon Aug 19 '11 at 15:06
