JavaScript Developer Central

JavaScript is the scripting language of the Internet. It is the most popular scripting language on the World Wide Web and is used in hundreds of thousands of Web pages. JavaScript is the "glue" which binds together HTML elements, JavaScript scripts, Java applets, and plug-ins and allows these objects to communicate and interoperate. It is the scripting language of choice for the development of crossware and the engine driving Dynamic HTML.  JavaScript can be used both on the client (CSJS) and on the server (SSJS).  If you'd like to know more about the differences between client and server JavaScript, please read the ViewSource article "All About JavaScript".

JavaScript and Netscape

JavaScript was created by Netscape to be a portable language independent of the underlying operating system as well as a secure language which would protect the user from unwanted system access. Netscape has submitted JavaScript to ECMA, the European standards consortium, for formal adoption as an international standard and is working with ECMA today to define the standard.

Netscape continues to enhance the JavaScript language to provide greater power and ease of use. JavaScript 1.2 contains new features including a capabilities-based security model and support for the use of regular expressions.
