ECMAScript

• ECMAScript refers to standard ECMA-262 released in June 1997

• ECMAScript is essentially JavaScript with all client and server-side features removed i.e. It is the language and not the browser AWT handler

• The emerging HTML and XML Document Object Models (DOMs) are bound initially to ECMAScript

• So one can use ECMAScript in several different domains (HTML XML VRML …) by adding support for appropriate domain specific objects

• Netscape Site has ECMAScript standard document
