JavaScript -- only superficially related to Java and was called LiveScript -- is Netscape's (somewhat supported by Microsoft) fully interpreted Client side extension of HTML. This is a good Client Window integration/customization technology where flexibility more important than performance
|
i.e. use JavaScript for Rapid Prototyping of Complex User Interfaces
-
Current examples use JavaScript together with frames ( HTML extension) for interactive multi-window technologies
-
JavaScript is roughly equivalent to "Abstract Windowing Toolkit/ Layout Manager" in Java but applied to Browser Frames and not Java windows
-
JavaScript cannot build filters or simulations as slow

Server side version of JavaScript called LiveWire runs on Netscape Servers
