JavaScript

First of all: JavaScript has nothing to do with Java  ... JavaScript is a scripting language designed by Netscape. JavaScripts are embedded into HTML  documents. It's more complicated than HTML tags, but if you look at the source code of a JavaScript enabled Web page , you can easily understand the syntax.

a web document scripting language introduced by Netscape. These are codes that allow users to go beyond what is possible in HTML coding of web documents. You may learn more about them by searching for the term "Java Scripts" in my bookmarks file. A good starting site is at Netscape's JavaScript File. You may also search some key references such as the web site http://www2.bath.ac.uk/~ccsnad/java/jsfaq.html. A summary of JavaSript commands can be found at http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-1996/jw-12-javascript.html Some good JavaScript hints are given by Jen at http://www.frymulti.com/~jwang/jsintro.html .

JavaScript is a programming language that is mostly used in web pages, usually to add features that make the web page more interactive. When JavaScript is included in an HTML file it relies upon the browser to interpret the JavaScript. When JavaScript is combined with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and later versions of HTML (4.0 and later) the result is often called DHTML.

Like Java, this is a programming lanuguage designed by Sun Microsystems (in conjuction with Netscape) that can be integrated into standard HTML pages. It is based off the Java programming language, but is used mainly to create interactive web pages. Because of the usefulness of JavaScript, many professional web sites incorporate it in the HTML of their web pages to make them more dynamic and interactive.
