JavaScript is the most widely used client-side scripting language on the Internet. JavaScript was originally developed by Sun Microsystems and evolved to an international standard recommendation that is also referred to as Ecmascript. Although JavaScript shares the same name as the Java programming language, it was designed to be... more »
In the early 1990s, web pages were static and there was no way for visitors to "interact" with the page. In 1996, Brendan Eich developed programming language which allowed web page users to "respond" to commands. These commands allowed a site visitor to see and work with a more user-friendly and "lively" animated page. But in order... more »

JavaScript is an object-oriented"ECMA-262"> scripting language used to enable programmatic access to objects within both the client application and other applications. It is primarily used in the form of client-side JavaScript, implemented as an integrated component of the web browser, allowing the development of enhanced user interfaces and dynamic websites. JavaScript is a dialect of the ECMAScript standard and is characterized as a dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based language with first-class functions. JavaScript was influenced by many languages and was designed to look like Java, but to be easier for non-programmers to work with."techvision">"popularity">
History and naming
JavaScript was originally developed by Brendan Eich of Netscape under the name Mocha, which was later renamed to LiveScript, and finally to JavaScript."computerworld"> The change of name from LiveScript to JavaScript roughly coincided with Netscape adding support for Java technology in its Netscape Navigator web browser. JavaScript was first introduced and deployed in the Netscape browser version 2.0B3 in December 1995. The naming has caused confusion, giving the impression that the language is a spin-off of Java, and it has been characterized by many as a marketing ploy by Netscape to give JavaScript the cachet of what was then the hot new web-programming language.
JavaScript, despite the name, is essentially unrelated to the Java programming language even though the two do have superficial similarities. Both languages use syntaxes influenced by that of C syntax, and JavaScript copies many Java names and naming conventions. The languages name is the result of a co-marketing deal between Netscape and Sun, in exchange for Netscape bundling Suns Java runtime with their then-dominant browser. The key design principles within JavaScript are inherited from the Self and Scheme programming languages.
