JAVASCRIPT
A programming language that
allows commands to be executed from a script without user
interaction. Despite the name, this has nothing to do with Java.
More Detailed Definition:
A scripting language developed by
Netscape to enable Web authors to design interactive sites.
Although it shares many of the features and structures of the full
Java language, it was developed independently. Javascript can
interact with HTML source code, enabling Web authors to spice up
their sites with dynamic content. JavaScript is endorsed by a
number of software companies and is an open language that anyone
can use without purchasing a license. It is supported by recent
browsers from Netscape and Microsoft, though Internet Explorer
supports only a subset, which Microsoft calls Jscript.
