RE: JavaScript

Hi Susan--

I am quoting from the O'Reilly "Web Design in a Nutshell" reference
book, p 379:

"JavaScript is a client-side scripting language that adds
interactivity and conditional behavior to web pages. With JavaScript,
you can do such things as display additional information about links,
create mouse rollover effects, change the contents of pages based on
certain conditions, randomly display contents on a page, load content
in new browser windows and frames, and (with some help from CSS) move
elements around the page."

Some examples of JavaScript in action can be found at the HTML Goodies
website:
www.htmlgoodies.com

It's a great site to wander around in general. Have fun!

My biggest point of confusion is what exactly does JavaScript do that
is
different from HTML in terms of how it can make a webpage look?
