Re: FLASH: OT Speaking of scripting

[Michael Penne]

very important to remember that javascript is _not_ java. 


Javascript _does not_ use any virtual machine, it is rendered by the

browser. diabling java _will not_ effect running javascripts. However,

many people are quite confused by the difference between javascript and

java and may disable javascript at the same time they disable java. (NS

named its scripting language for Nav javascript because at the time

java was 'the big thing' and they wanted to catch some of the hype',

however they are completly differnet technologies.) If you have clients

who you have done javascripting for, (and who may be ignorant of the

difference between javascript and java) it may be a good idea to handle

this proactively...
