JavaScript

A short explanation of JavaScript in our glossary

JavaScript is a scripting language developed by Netscape for rendering and running dynamic HTML in web browsers. JavaScript is typically used in web development, where processing usually happens client-side, directly in the web browser. Today, JavaScript is implemented in all common web browsers.

Dynamic features — such as opening and displaying dialog windows or opening a linked page in a new pop-up window — can be implemented with JavaScript.
