javascript and java are not the same, Java is a programming language (compiled, runs on it's own platform, and is very object oriented) created by Sun Systems.

Javascript is a scripting language created by Netscape to compete with Vbscript (funny as I would have thought javascript came first) it's procedual , and is limited to scripting abilities, you can find the full grown reference in the developer section at netscape, as they created the scripting language, and support it's reference , the only main difference between most browsers is the document object model (such as netscape = Document.layer, as IE is document.all etc)

the scripting language itself should be straight forward.

objects of browser, etc not much you can do the browser, they are known as clients, and most of what you can do is just get information, aside for that your control remains within the document, not the browser application (with some exceptions on the side)

If anyone knows the javascript developer reasource URL from netscape please post it
