Definition |
| Java |
Java is a network-oriented programming language invented by Sun
Microsystems that is specifically designed for writing programs that can be
safely downloaded to your computer through the Internet and immediately run
without fear of viruses or other harm to your computer or files. Using small
Java programs (called "Applets"), Web pages can include functions such as
animations, calculators, and other fancy tricks. |
| JavaScript |
JavaScript was invented by Netscape and was going to be called
"LiveScript", but the name was changed to JavaScript to cash in on the
popularity of Java. JavaScript and Java are two different programming
languages. JavaScript is a programming language that is mostly used in web
pages, usually to add features that make the web page more interactive. When
JavaScript is included in an HTML file it relies upon the browser to interpret
the JavaScript. When JavaScript is combined with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS),
and later versions of HTML (4.0 and later) the result is often called DHTML.
