GUI Tool to test javascript

Question

I am looking for GUI/Windows based tool to test my javascript code there instead of using firebug or other in-browser tool.

I want to play around with javascript language outside of the browser to learn more about it.

Has anyone come across such tool? I could not find one :(

Edit: I am looking for GUI/Windows based on which can be used even if I am not connected to internet and still play around with javascript.

There are three very popular ones called IE, Firefox and Chrome. — Jivings, Jan 27 '12 at 17:14
Are you saying you want to run javascript in a context other than a webpage? Or you just want a different environment for debugging? — Matthew Nichols, Jan 27 '12 at 17:20
@MatthewNichols: Yes Windows-based one, I want to learn javascript language for the moment forgetting about web at this time. — Dev555, Jan 27 '12 at 17:22
you can use any browser if you're not connected to the internet — André Alçada Padez, Jan 27 '12 at 17:23
So just use your browser to test on a local file. Did you realize you can view javascript on a local machine? It's client side so you don't need a server to run it. — Jeremy Miller, Jan 27 '12 at 17:24
You can run either V8 or SpiderMonkey from the command line if that's of your liking. — gonchuki, Jan 27 '12 at 17:25

I'm a big fan of jsFiddle.
jsBin is another option.

Microsoft Web Developer Express is free and has a great JavaScript editor and debugger.

Does that have a JavaScript interpreter? – Jivings Jan 27 '12 at 17:21
The IE browser is used in conjunction with debugger which of course includes an interpreter as well as an immediate and command window, call stack, and watch list. – ron tornambe Jan 27 '12 at 18:22

If you're looking for something that you don't need to be connected to the internet for, why can't you just use your browser? I assume you've already got some kind of development platform now. Save to a local HTML file and view it on your local browser.

Do you not have some kind of a GUI development program like DreamWeaver or CODA or something like that? (I'm on a mac, so I'm not familiar with a lot of windows based programs).
