From A Tutorial on Base Web Technologies CRPC Annual Meeting/NASA Langley/Trip to China -- May 14-17 June 10-13 1996 July 12-18 1996. by Geoffrey Fox

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
