I started messing around with some javascript today. Javascript is sort of like CSS in that they both customize the html skeleton to create different effects. Whereas, CSS largely deals with the visual portion of html (text color, font size, font style) Javascript makes actions in conjunction with html possible. For example, with Javascript you can create Popups, cause text to change with a click, or switch the url of a link by clicking a button.
A program called Canvascape is being developed that can design full rendered 3D environments written strictly with javascript. This could lead to detailed game engines being written with only javascript. The upside to using Javascript is its lightweight nature, with easy to write scripts and small files sizes.
