JavaScript


JavaScript is a browser scripting language developed by Netscape Communications. It's purpose is to allow sophisticated control of the web client program and to allow dynamic modification of and interactivity with web pages. Sophisticated JavaScript programmers have even used it to create simple games and web based applications.

To get the best from JavaScript you need to use Netscape Navigator version 3 or above. Although MS Internet Explorer 3 and above does have some support for JavaScript (they call it JScript), it's implementation is not complete and some JavaScript objects are not supported in MSIE.

A good place to find out more about JavaScript is Netscape's DevEdge site, also Gamelan has a lot of JavaScript resources. Other JavaScript links include:
