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 |
8 | JavaScript has most user interface features of Java (such as buttons and frames), except not mouse interactions like "drag and drop". |
