    Hmm

    What is the difference between java and java script?
    "Hackers" -When used properly, this term refers to an elite breed of good guys who are talented computer programmers. They enjoy solving challenging problems or exploring the capabilities of computers. Like a carpenter wielding an axe to make furniture, the hacker does good things with his skills. True hackers subscribe to a code of ethics and look down upon the illegal and immoral activity of crackers. When people use "hackers" to describe virus authors or computer criminals who commit theft or vandalism, it is not only incorrect but also insulting to true hackers..--unknown source--..

    Javascript runs in a web browser window allowing the web page to be dynamic, Java applications run independently but can be made into an applet to run in a window on a browser.

    Java is a complete language that gets compiled to bytecode. Features are strict type checking, full object orientation based on type definitions, garbage collection and a large built-in library.
    Java needs a virtual machine to run. You can write applets, which are small applications with reduced access rights that run within a browser or other container applications.

    JavaScript is a scripting language. Its syntax is based on Java, but the similarities end there. JavaScript is interpreted from text. Features are free-type variables (no type checking at all), basics of object orientation through prototypes (runtime object building) and good browser integration. JavaScript is mostly used to manipulate XML or HTML pages through the Document Object Model. With XUL there's an XML-based language wich enables real applications to be developed in JavaScript.
