I have noticed the difficulty of setting up a good Web development
in emacs. Nevertheless after a week of installing and debugging
I have a working system. It is based on WebDev by Darren Brierton
but has been improved. It works on XP and I have written a installer.
Also I have added Lisp support.
I am going to release the installment to sourceforge eventually, but
for the moment I am looking for a few brave souls to do alpha testing.

If you are interested contact me.
You might just end up with a 'kick ass' web development environment.

The only thing I am missing for web development is a good javascript
mode. For xhtml I use the excellent nxml-mode (it is better than psgml
imo), and there is a decent css-mode too.

There have been a couple of attempts to create a SLIME like environment
for javascript, where a javascript server runs within the browser
(Firefox) and Emacs connects to this server so you can send js
expressions for evaluation - but so far all of them are unfinished: none
of them supports completion from Emacs, although the jsshell itself does
it, you can try it here:

http://www.squarefree.com/shell/shell.html

E.g. type "window." and hit TAB to see the completions.

And here is one of those Emacs packages:
