Total Posts: 2486 | java can do anything you want and that's why you have a little option in your browser to disallow it and those little pesky warning popups when java applest want to load. this is a security precaution...probably caused by java's power? speaking of java, i dunno if anyone ever heard of the game Uru - Ages Beyond Myst then it's a last sequel to Myst in full 3D and guess what, it's all coded in java. on the other hand, javascript is not that powerful at all and you can easily embed it in html code and have it executed but you can't do any real harm with it.

Total Posts: 2007 | Just a little clarification, Java and Javascript are NOT the same thing. Java requires an applet to run, while Javascript does not. Javascript and C/C++ are quite similar in syntax actually.
To answer spiral's question, i don't think Javascript can interact w/ rtye hardware like that, but maybe Java can.
EDIT: okay, B already said everything i just said, gotta read more carefully next time :).
