What is "<javascript>" tag?

[YoussefGamil]

Hi,

What does "<javascript>" written as a tag?Pls help me..

If I knew how does it work,It will be easy form me to create Socket Server.

This is not to dis-courage you or something, but if you needed to ask this, then more likely than not, its going to take a long time before you learn it. Its not easy to teach the more basic things that we assume everyone knows, over the course of forum posts.

OH..NOO

Sorry for my crazy question...

but, all I want that how to use "<javascript>" to call java.net.SocketServer

in other meaning I want to use it because I do not want to use Java Applet.

What is difference between <script lanuage="JavaScript"> and <javascript> ?

and can it call Java function (ex: java.awt.*)

that's what you mean!!

Did you understand?

Javascript can't call java functions. They're not interconnected.

<javascript> isn't a valid HTML tag.

<script language"javascript"></script> is.

<script language"javascript"></script> is.

That's exactly what I was thinking... There is no such thing as a <javascript> tag...

I was searching for this and I belived that there is not any tag

called "<javascript>".

But,..Infact I found a document in other forum

talking about this tag and using it to make a connection

with a Socket Server...This can help me to make something

like chat!!

Take a look at this simple code:

OHH!!

I thought people in this forum knows alot of things..

SO,where can I get the answer of my question?

Can any one help me,..PLEASE PLEASE

--------------------------------

I have a good news..Cairo ICT will close tomorrow!!

[matrix0978]

We dont know everything

But i mean i guess its another way to call the script 'java' and it reads the script under those tags.

Iam VERY VERY SORRY .... "prathapml" made me nerves.

I did not mean to say that...take it easy...the world is full of jokes!!

and here in Alexandria city people may say a bad words without understanding

it's effect on other people ....(be like MENA)

Iam returning back to school and I don't want to make any problem with any person

living in this earth.

I will be careful while getting out my words..and soory.

I have another question does the code (I wrote at the top) needs

a specially API to work with (in a website)?? Or It runs as a normal Javascript.

[Stalkie]

Sorry to disappoint you YoussefGamil, but that code looks like some Java that has run through a filter of some sort.

The =3D would seem to equal a = sign.

Also the <![CDATA[ would suggest XML.

So in conclusion, I would say:

It's an XML-document with a java code-snippet.

The <javascript>-tag is a home-made tag, and not valid in (X)HTML.
