1.1 Background
Like everything else connected to the Web, JavaScript is a new technology-- even newer than Java itself. JavaScript was initially developed by Netscape under the name of LiveScript. This scripting language was intended to extend the capabilities of basic HTML and provide an alternative to using CGI scripts. After Netscape saw Java, howerver, it began to work with Sun to provide a scripting language even more closely linked to Java itself--hence the name hcnage to JavaScript.Since its rollout in December 1995, JavaScript has drawn support from the major industry vendors, including Apple, Borland, Sybase, Informix, Oracle, Digital, HP, and IBM.
Miscroft reverse-engineered JavaScript creating its own
scripting language JScript which is supported in
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 and higher. However, the myriad of
JavaScript versions and various platform-specific quirks have left
Web developers with headaches when they try to develop
JavaScript-enabled Web sites.
Fortunately, Netscape, Microsft and other vendors agreed to turn over the language to an international standard body, named ECMA. ECMA is now responsible for finalizing a language specification and all vendors will agree on. Although this ECMA standar will help, it's extremely linkely that both Netscape and Microsoft will both continue to extend JavaScript beyond the language standard, making coplete language uniformity unachievable.
