JavaScript

JavaScript isn't Java, even though they share a name.
It is Netscape's cross-platform, object-based scripting language to enable Web authors to design interactive sites. JavaScript offers a way to add intelligence and interactivity to Web pages.

JavaScript can interact with  HTML code on Web pages to make the page dynamic. It can run and modify a page before it is sent to the client, and functions can run in response to actions the user takes while looking at the page.

It is open language, meaning it can  be used without a license

JavaScript is entered along with HTML tags on the Web page. It can be typed in using  Notepad or any program that allows HTML code. You can process data collected in HTML forms right on the user's computer, without involving a server.

JavaScript is easy to use but has enough power built in to accomplish most programming goals.
Works well with other  programming languages, for example, JavaScript can fill in default values in an HTML form and then validate the data the user enters in the form before the form is  submitted back to the server for processing by a CGI script.

Like Java Applets, there are many free JavaScripts floating around the web.
