Please note that JavaScript is a scripting language that is still undergoing development: there are some minor differences between the implementation in Netscape Navigator 2.0 and Netscape Navigator 3.0. The implementation of JavaScript in MS Internet Explorer 3.0 also differs from Netscape's. Also, some the commands described in the JavaScript Authoring Guide doesn't seem to work according to the current documentation (e.g., the document.clear() function).

This may cause problems for Web authors that would like to use JavaScript and support all platforms available on the Internet. Anyway, JavaScript is the scripting language for HTML that - in some form or another - is supported on most major systems.
