JavaScript

JavaScript is a Java-like structural programming language designed to work with (i.e. supported by) most modern web browsers. It enables more interactive features to be added to static and/or dynamically served web pages by websites or web applications.

Detection

One of the most useful features of JavaScript is ironically, one of its largest setbacks. Since JavaScript behaves slightly differently across different implementations (i.e. by browser types and OSs), a number of library components were included for detecting the application and platform through which a given piece of JavaScript was accessed.
