JavaScript is an object-based scripting programming language based on |
| 10 |
the concept of prototypes. The language is best known for its use in |
| 11 |
websites, but is also used to enable scripting access to objects |
| 12 |
embedded in other applications. It was originally developed by Brendan |
| 13 |
Eich of Netscape Communications Corporation under the name Mocha, then |
| 14 |
LiveScript, and finally renamed to JavaScript. Like Java, JavaScript has |
| 15 |
a C-like syntax, but it has far more in common with the Self programming |
| 16 |
language than with Java. |

John Blinka already told you how to enable JavaScript (and Java, if you |
| 43 |
want) in your (Mozilla/Gecko-based) browser. |
