1 JavaScript: Integrated with HTML as embedded ascii but of course HTML looks rather irrelevant at times!
2 Java: Applets distinct from HTML but invoked from HTML Pages
3 JavaScript: do not declare variables' datatypes -- Loose typing
4 Java: MUST declare variables' datatypes -- Strong typing
5 JavaScript -- Dynamic Binding -- object references computed at runtime
6 Java -- Static Binding -- object references must exist at compile time
7 Java and JavaScript are secure and cannot write to disk
