Just to clarify, Java and JavaScript are two very different things. Java is a
language and a run-time environment devloped by Sun. JavaScript is strictly a
scripting language with a syntax similar to Java but used for very different
tasks. JavaScript was developed by Netscape and was originally named
LiveScript, was renamed to "JavaScript" to ride the hype of Java.
