How can I format JS code in Vim?

Question

I have this bit of JavaScript...

 15   $(\'.ajax_edit_address\').each(function() {
 16     $(this).ajaxForm({
 17       target: $(this).parents(\'table.addre

Unfortunately, 'cindent' just isn't going to do the job since it's is very much tied to C syntax. Since all the default indent script for javascript does is turn on 'cindent', that's not much help. It even says so in the script!

I don't do anything other than really basic javascript so I've never bothered trying to find anything better. From a quick look on vim.org, this script looks like it may be worth a shot. It's newer, so it probably takes into account the more complex javascript that's used now days.
