Webdesign Glossary - JavaScript

JavaScript is a scripting language most frequently used for enhancing the interactivity of web pages, especially when it comes to dynamic interfaces. Whereas PHP, ASP etc are server-side languages which are ran on the server before the web page loads, JavaScript is a client-side language ran in the visitors browser, after the page is loaded.

Note: Do not confuse JavaScript with the more powerful language Java.
