Javascript Title

What is Javascript and how does it work?

JavaScript is Netscape's cross-platform, object-based scripting language for client and server applications. Javascript code is embedded in HTML documents and is activated when the document is loaded into a browser e.g. Netscape. Javascript can be used to basic interactive elements such as rollovers/mouseovers, generate prompts and warning dialog boxes.
