What are the differences between Java and JavaScript?

---

Solution:

Please don't confuse JavaScript with Java. Java is an entire programming language developed by Sun Microsystems, while JavaScript is a scripting language that was introduced by Netscape.

JavaScript support is built into all modern browsers, as it is a language used to manipulate the contents of Web pages.

Java is a separate download application because it is an environment in which a program can be run. Java applets generally do not interact with the Web page itself, but usually runs as a "standalone" program embedded in a Web page.
