Actually, Java and Javascript are two totally different beasts.  But I see 
you did say, "Java script" which could be taken as a script program written 
in Java, which is still not the same as Javascript that's embedded in web 
pages.  I have a Javascript book that mentions something about why and how 
these two similar-named systems, that have NOTHING to do with each other, 
managed to emerge about the same time with almost the same name, etc.
