What is a Javascript?

Question

I want to know what is a javascript.

Answer 1

javascript is a client-side code frequently used in websites to produce dynamic and interactive content for the page. This is not to be confused with java programming - which is basically an applet technology.

Answer 2

What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is Netscape's cross-platform, object-based scripting language for client and server applications. There are two types of JavaScript:

Navigator JavaScript, also called client-side JavaScript
LiveWire JavaScript, also called server-side JavaScript






JavaScript started life as LiveScript, but Netscape changed the name, possibly because of the excitement being generated by Java, to JavaScript. The name does confuse people, though, who expect there to be a closer relationship between Java and JavaScript than actually exists. In fact there's little in common between the languages, although some of the syntax looks similar.

The JavaScript language was created by Netscape in 1996 and included in their Netscape Navigator (NN) 2.0 browser via an interpreter that reads and executes the JavaScript included in .html pages. The language has steadily grown in popularity since then, and is now supported by the most popular browsers: those produced by Netscape and Microsoft as well as less widely used browsers like Opera. The good news is that this means JavaScript can be used in web pages for all major modern browsers. The not quite so good news is that there are differences in the way the different browsers implement JavaScript, although the core JavaScript language is much the same.

The great thing about JavaScript is that once you've learned how to use it for browser programming, you can move on to use it in other areas. Microsoft's IIS uses JavaScript to program server-side web pages, PDF files now use JavaScript, and even Windows admin tasks can be automated with JavaScript code.

Answer 3

JavaScript is a scripting language used in many websites.
A scripting language is a language, which is easy and fast to learn.
So is this reference.
A scripting language is interpreted in run-time.
It is not compiled like other languages as C++, C#, VB.NET etc.
JavaScript is a client side language and it runs on the client browser.
Netscape developed it and because of its simplicity it is one of the most known scripting languages.

However JavaScript can be also used on the server-side. JavaScript can be used on all most known browsers.
It can be easily used to interact with HTML elements.

You can validate text fields, disable buttons, validate forms, or change the background color of your page.

All this is possible with JavaScript. Like each programming language, it contains variables, arrays, functions, operators, objects and much more which can be help you to create better scripts for your pages.

On the server side you can use JavaScript for example to manage your database entry.
JavaScript code can be inserted directly in the HTML or you can place it in a separate file with the .js extension and link the web page with the .js file.
