Client-Side Technologies

The <script> tag indicates to the browser that the text written within the script tags is part of a script. This tag can be used one or multiple times in the <head> as well as in the <body> element. But it is typically recommended that you keep the <script> tag within the <head> tags. The language attribute specifies that the language used for writing the script/program is JavaScript. Netscape navigator uses JavaScript as the default scripting language, but Microsoft Internet Explorer uses JScript. Both languages are syntactically similar. The following two script statements are equivalent: <script language=“JavaScript”><script> (Note that no language attribute is specified.)The <script> tag takes three attributes as follows: Language: Specifies the language used for the script.SRC: Indicates the URL of a file that contains an external script load.Type: Indicates the MIME type of script to be run.
HTML and Scripts
Published in Tom Hutchison, Paul Allen, Web Marketing for the Music Business, 2013
Java is a programming language developed by Sun. NetScape responded by creating JavaScript. Microsoft then added its own version of JavaScript to Internet Explorer, called JScript (D. Smith, 1998). The difference between Java and JavaScript is that Java can stand on its own whereas JavaScript must be placed inside an HTML document to function. JavaScript is text that is fed into a browser that can read it and then is enacted by the browser. It can be modified on the fly. Java, on the other hand, creates a “standalone” application—the Java “applet” (a small application), which is a fully contained program. Java needs to be recompiled if it is modified, and then reinserted into the web page.
Script Automation in Windows

JScript is based on ECMAScript. It is often said to be standardized. Only those parts of JScript that correspond to ECMAScript are genuinely standard and compatible with JavaScript. That is known as core JavaScript and it is a tiny fraction of what JScript supports. The rest is somewhat like JavaScript but certainly couldn’t be called standardized. The marketeers are being every economic with the truth when they say JScript is a standards compatible language.

The EON graphical authoring tool, catering for non-programmers and programmers alike, was easy to learn and use. With the advantages of pre-programmed functionality, quick import of most generic CAD and 3D formats, the ability to quickly alter and reuse content, and its compact file format, this tool helped to minimize the development time needed for applications. The EON system’s functionality was extended using script languages (Jscript, VBScript) to create custom prototypes and connecting VEs with simulation components and databases.
