Definition: JavaScript adds interactivity to your Web pages and brings them to life. It is an extension of HTML code that is placed right in the HTML code by placing a beginning tag <script> and an ending tag </script>. It's a scripting language based on Java but is not Java. JavaScript is a very usefull tool for building websites that interact with the user. JavaScript can be used to do such things as listed below:

• Automatically change a formatted date on a Web page.
• Cause a linked-to page to appear in a popup window.
• Cause text or a graphic image to change during a mouse rollover.
