RESOURCES - ANIMATION OVERVIEW:
JavaScript uses many of the concepts found in Java, which in turn, is an object-oriented language derived from C++. JavaScript is usually imbedded in the "Head" element of HTML pages and interpreted by browsers. It can also be run from a server (for example: Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) which dynamically build a new page before it goes back to the client. Netscape 6.x and Explorer 6.x both support it, but with subtle differences.
It is this language that powers the mouse-over navigation menu on this page and throughout the site as well as the greeting on the homepage denoting the day, date, month, year and time of day. These are just a few, very basic examples of what JavaScript can do.
JavaScript can also be a good solution for embedding flash applications, adding interactive functionality to forms, detecting which browser a visitor is using (and then serving up a appropriately-coded page), and many other useful enhancements.
