Javascript is a script language created by Netscape. For the record, Javascript has nothing to do with Java, the multimedia language. Microsoft uses Javascript under the name of Jscript.

Javascript is very interesting because an user can activate and execute interactive functions only with his browser, nothing to install on the hosting server, nothing to install on the browser. The instruction codes are embedded into the HTML page.

Javascript is used for:

simple drop-down and pop-up menus
cookies
rotating images
and many other things: Javascript examples

Javascript is integrated into HTML codes.

The webmaster puts the script tag<script language="javascript"> where he wants the script to activate on the page.

You can download and integrate Javascripts into HTML very easily. In top of that, they are free.
