Java not= Javascript
Authored by: soufle on Feb 01, '04 03:33:34PM

FYI

Please note Java and Javascript are not related other than in name. While Javascript tries to use commands with the same names they were developed independently.

Java != Javascript

Wasn't JavaScript Micro$oft's response to Java? I think they were afraid of a language that didn't need a specific OS or browser, since that would hurt their control over the market, so they made JavaScript so people would use it, and be forced to continue to use IE, since they also controlled how JS could be implemented. I dunno -- just something I heard.

Javascript has nothing to do with Microsoft...

Javascript was developed by Netscape.
