Developed by Netscape from HTML scripting language LiveScript, and including some features of Java, that allows HTML authors to have more control over the behavior of the browser.
|
|
JavaScript is text embedded in an HTML document using the <SCRIPT> tags, which a JavaScript browser will interpret (and other browsers ignore).
|
|
JavaScript can perform animations, respond to buttons and other forms of user input, and allow the author more control over the appearance of the Web Page.
|
|
JavaScript can also provide an object-oriented view of other browser plug-in programs.
