JavaScript: Integrated with HTML as embedded ascii but of course HTML looks rather irrelevant at times! |
Java: Applets distinct from HTML but invoked from HTML Pages |
JavaScript: do not declare variables' datatypes -- Loose typing |
Java: MUST declare variables' datatypes -- Strong typing |
JavaScript -- Dynamic Binding -- object references computed at runtime |
Java -- Static Binding -- object references must exist at compile time |
Java and JavaScript are secure and cannot write to disk |
JavaScript has most user interface features of Java (such as buttons and frames), but not mouse interactions like "dragging". |
