Before the waters get so muddy one can't get out of the mire: java and
javascript share only a name. Well javascript borrows heavily from java in
it syntax, but it is *NOT* java. And jscript is the m$ implimentation of
javascript with their extensions (and resulting security holes).
Javascript was designed by netscape. I don't think it is called javascript
anymore as Sun took legal action to stop it as it confuses people and
impeeds the adoption of java. Everything needed to include support for
javascript is available for implimentation in a web browser without need
of royalty payments though.
