Originally developed by Brendan Eich of Netscape Communications Corp., JavaScript (not to be confused with Java) is an object-oriented, scripting language (a lightweight programming language) which is generally  coded  directly in  the  HTML   source. It is

most often used for client-side web development to add interactivity in HTML pages : embellishing designs, opening menus, validating forms, detecting browser's version and managing cookies are all commonly done with JavaScript.

Its activation is required to access certain features of websites using it.

Google Chrome (version 3.0.195.21)

In Google Chrome, JavaScript is always enabled. To disable it, launch the browser from the Run command line in the Start menu (Start-Run entry) with the parameter : -disable-javascript.

For example, in Windows XP : "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -disable-javascript

In Vista : "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" -disable-javascript

Or you can add the parameter -disable-javascript (with a space in front) to the Google Chrome shortcut if you wish.

JavaScript and Java (developped by Sun Microsystems) are two different languages : Javascript is an interpreted language designed to add interactivity to HTML pages; it is usually embedded directly into those, making it browser dependant, while Java is a far more complex programming language used to create complete applications that are platform independant.
