If you are forced down this route, there are much better javascript editors than Notepad. One surprising favorite seems to be Visual Studio (with extensions). There are others such as Aptana Studio, but even NotePad++ would be an improvement.

Well, that answers my question. I am not authorized to use SharePoint Designer. The organization that owns the servers here have it in their head that if I use SPDesigner, I may destroy civilization as we know it ;-) I edit/store all of my scripts in Notepad as *.js files, upload them to a JavaScript Document Library in my site, then reference them from within the affected page via a CEWP. I've never had any trouble that way--other than the obvious pain of editing a script in Notepad.
