probably the same number as people that don't know the difference between PLM and PLM-86.

The difference between Java and Javascript should not be signified by mere examples of syntactical variations. Java is a programming language, and therefore a program written in Java must be compiled. With Java you can create stand-alone program, applets, and servlets. Javascript is a scripting language, and therefore does not need a compiler, but rather an interpreter. Javascript runs via a browser and is not used to create stand-alone programs. Those explanations are not even the tip of the iceburg, but they do give a quick overview of the major difference. Java would not be used to create a dynamic website alongside HTML, CSS and whatever else you use; that is the purpose of Javascript. However, if you wished to have some animation, game, or business application as part of your website, then a Java applet could do the trick. The only problem that I see with Java applets today, is that Flash and Silverlight run much faster in the browser.

Honestly I do not know how many people on here do not know the difference between javascript and java. As a programmer I know the difference but I do not take the time polling others who do not know.... plus why should they know? they users.... they do not need to know what goes on behind the scenes, we just make it easy for them. We are the gods, they are the mortals! (evil laugh) lol
--- edit ---
after reading..... some of the commets... I better tell what java and javascript is...
Java is a programming language that is compiled to run in java virtual machine, it can also be used to create stand alone programs that run without a web browser. It is an object oriented language that borrows a number of concepts from C++.
Javascript is a procedural scripting language that is similar to visual basic but borrows a similar syntax to Java. It requires an interpreter which can be your browser (built in) or an external one such as the windows scripting host.

I am sure that the number is less than the people who know binary.
