[WEB4LIB] RE: Opera loading a javascript menu

[Mark Pecaut]

Java and JavaScript are two distinct languages.  Java is a 
compliled and interpreted, `write once, run anywhere' language
developed by Sun Microsystems.  JavaScript is a scripting
language developed by Netscape to provide annoying pop-up windows,
browsers incompatiblities  and frequent browser crashes to 
web pages.  It is also used for a few other purposes.  They have 
nothing to do with each other.  You don't need the Java plugin for
JavaScript in the browser.  Whoever named JavaScript was evil (it 
came after Java).
