JavaScript is simply the script version of Java, like VB and VBScript, C# and CSScript, etc.orwell84 wrote:No. Java is a compiled language, somewhat similar to C++. It is object oriented, and is also used in web pages. However, it is normally for "applets" such as games, or other things that are too complex for simple javascript. Javascript, on the other hand, is put into html in between <script=text/javascript> and </script> tags. Javascript is used for client-side scripting on the Internet. What is meant by client-side is that it is executed by the computer requesting the html document--i.e., the user, or "client." This is different from server-side scripting, such as php or perl, where it is executed by the server. Javascript is often used to validate email addresses before sending them to the server, so as not to waste system resources on the server.
Java is also client-side, I believe, but it is first compiled as 'bytecode,' which the java platform executes on your computer. Bytecode is also why java is portable, because any computer with java support executes it properly, from the way bytecode works.
In any case, if you wanted to learn how to code Javascript, the link I gave is an excellent resource. Also, if you want to see code examples, all you have to do is view the source of (almost) any webpage and look for the script tags. There are also numerous code repositories where you can find sample code.
