**Javascript**

**//Definition//**: A [|scripting language]developed by [|Netscape] to enable Web authors to design interactive sites. [|Webopedia.com] 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. In general, script languages are easier and faster to code in than the more structured and compiled languages such as C and C++. Script languages generally take longer to process than compiled languages, but are very useful for shorter programs. JavaScript is used in Web site development to do such things as: Automatically change a formatted date on a Web page. Cause a linked-to page to appear in a popup window. Cause text or a graphic image to change during a mouse [|rollover]. [|JavaScript], aka Mocha, aka LiveScript, aka JScript, aka ECMAScript, is one of the world's most popular programming languages. Virtually every personal computer in the world has at least one JavaScript interpreter installed on it and in active use. JavaScript's popularity is due entirely to its role as the scripting language of the WWW. Despite its popularity, few know that JavaScript is a very nice dynamic object-oriented general-purpose programming language. The //Java-// prefix suggests that JavaScript is somehow related to Java, that it is a subset or less capable version of Java. It seems that the name was intentionally selected to create confusion, and from confusion comes misunderstanding. JavaScript is not interpreted Java. Java is interpreted Java. JavaScript is a different language. This image source: [|Javascript DeBugging]
