I am no expert in this, but if you are dealing with a mode for editting javascript files, as opposed to something that is mixed (like html, css, javascript) you would be hard pressed to beat js2.el for emacs written by Steve Yegge. It checks your syntax in real-time, because he embedded a complete js parser, it handles various versions of javascript, including rhino extensions etc.
I have not used it enough to see if it does any form of completion, but it would not surprise me. Anyway, if you google up Steve Yegge and javascript he gives a good rundown of what he was up to, and of course the code is freely available. Good luck with you project.
