Javascript was in the beginning called Live Script. Its name was changed to Javascript or Jscript
as a marketing ploy. Javascript is based on the EMCA script standard and specifications. Basically
Microsoft and Netscape invented Javascript. Javascript is similar in syntax to C or Java. Many Java
concepts and standards are also part of Javascript. However Javascript is not Java. Now some years
back there was this concept of DHTML. DHTML was merely a combination of HTML, CSS, and Javascript along with the HTML DOM.
HTML DOM is where the browsers begin to keep or store the HTML in a DOM, a DOM is a document object model.
Javascript has access to this DOM. This makes it very eash for Javascript to change the currently displayed web page
on the fly based on programming logic. While Javascript is by no means a substition for Java, I feel that
it is a very good complimentary tech to go with Java web development. This is why I have
decided to use Javascript and support it on my web site. Not because it has the Java TM name
in its Name.
I will post some examples, and downloads in this section.
