In addition to using ctags, the Class Browser plugin does some extra
parsing for a few other languages. For example, it has a
parser_python.py module for Python, so a nested definition in Python
shows as nested in the Class Browser tree. The easiest and best way to
provide the same thing for _javascript_ might be to write a
parser_javascript.py module to add to the Class Browser plugin.

And that did the trick. Thanks Matej!
As an aside, my JS codebase makes heavy use of closures and prototypal
inheritance. But apparently ctags parsing won't handle nested definitions.
I guess my search for a Gedit-based class browser for JS continues...
best,
Kaleb

Yeah, running Gedit <_javascript_-file> from the command line emits:
ctags: invalid option -- 'n'
Could it be I'm on a wrong ctags version? Not sure how to check for
that, though.
I think gedit expects exuberant tags (there are more implementations of
the ancient tags command). Try to run the following command:
jakoubek:~ $ ctags --version

or you can try (dpkg -S /usr/bin/ctags would be Debian equivalent I
believe):

Summary : A C programming language indexing and/or cross-reference tool
Description :
Ctags generates an index (or tag) file of C language objects found in
C source and header files. The index makes it easy for text editors or
other utilities to locate the indexed items. Ctags can also generate a
cross reference file which lists information about the various objects
found in a set of C language files in human readable form. Exuberant
Ctags improves on ctags because it can find all types of C language tags,
including macro definitions, enumerated values (values inside enum{...}),
function and method definitions, enum/struct/union tags, external
function prototypes, typedef names and variable declarations. Exuberant
Ctags is far less likely to be fooled by code containing #if preprocessor
conditional constructs than ctags. Exuberant ctags supports output of
Emacs style TAGS files and can be used to print out a list of selected
objects found in source files.
Install ctags if you are going to use your system for C programming.
