JavaScript is a script language - a system of programming codes, created by Netscape, that can be embedded into the HTML of a web page to add functionality. JavaScript should not be confused with the Java programming language. In general, script languages such as JavaScript are easier and faster to code than more structured languages such as Java and C++.

Javascript is a scripting language designed to live in web pages - and make them somewhat interactive, yet safe in that it cannot read or write to your hard drive.
Turns out is less than perfectly safe, but quite useful anyway.
Common uses: Make images change, implement simple games, do cute "on mouse" events, organize data you want to send to servers, format page appearance according the unique traits of the web browser you are using, and other stuff.

java script is a client side scripting language. Mostly used in client side validation. Some people can do server side validation too.
