JavaScript

JavaScript is a client-side scripting language and the most popular language for adding interactivity to Web pages.

JavaScript was developed by Netscape and later standardized by ECMA. The latest version, JavaScript 1.5, is supported by all of today's popular browsers.

While the syntax does share some common features, JavaScript has no relation to the Java language, a language usually used for embedding interactive objects in Web pages.
