It's Java looking script language, which is excecuted at the client side (in Inet browsers). It look like Java, but there isn't many common things between them.

JavaScript is powerfull and with it you can create almost a website designer needs - if you are enough advance with it you can make small animation, also effects, which mainly creates using Flash.

In Inet there is enough information, tutorials etc. for JS - if you intend to entertain with it.

Flash and Javascript are two totally different things.

Flash is a format for making animations or movies using vector graphics and bitmaps. Javascript is a programming-ish language used to preform different tasks within a browser, and is execute in the client, AKA your computer, instead of a server-based language like CGI, which processes info at the server and then delivers the finished product to you.

With Flash you van also make total designs for interfaces with interactive elements and it's as fast as the server....
JavaScript's functions are at the moment being replaced by several other programming-languages:
Css has taken some features
XML together with XHTML has taken some
PHP has also stolen features...

I'm afraid (not really;)) Javascript will disappear in the future cause it's not really a good programming-language, it's too slow for this days priorities etc.

Flash is the future! =B It's much more cusomisable, looks better and is easier to use. For web applications using java then i think PHP or ASP will take over

[altlimit]

Its a client side program that runs in the client.

[cypherxaint]

javascript is better then flash because:
- it's easier to use, you don't need extra (expensive) programs for it
- and it's a lot faster to load then flash... flash is slooooooooooooow

Javascript is all the things that HTML forgot.
It allows you to make decisions and do something wken a user clisks somewhere.

JavaScript is a kind of easy language,
mostly,it is used in web page,
or a language surported by ASP.NET

you can using this language creating
dynamic webpage(DHTML)
unlike php,asp,jsp.
It is run in client computer.

and php is run at server,
in client computer you can only see HTML code
you can nerver see the source code
