JavaScript

JavaScript is a programming language supported by many browsers which allows web page authors to have greater control over the user’s browsing experience. JavaScript is often used to create fly-out menus, invoke pop-up windows, validate form data and so on. Please note that JavaScript is not Java!

Any errors that may occur when the browser tries to run JavaScript will appear in the JavaScript Console.
