The newest possible javascript version you can set in NetBeans currently is:

Firefox 3.x or later 
IE7 or later
Safari 3 or later
Opera (just Opera, no version)

JS version: 1.8

______
This means you cannot code for modern browsers ( IE9+, Chrome, Safari 5 ) or legacy semi-modern borowsers ( IE8, FF3.6, Safari 4 ) without getting yellow triangles, same with coding for Node.js ( V8 ).


Current version of EcmaScript is 5.1. It is supported by all 5 major browsers ( ie9+, ff4+, chromeX, opera12 ).
