JScript is largely compatible with JavaScript. However, JScript version 5.0 includes some objects not currently supported by JavaScript, such as ActiveXObject, Enumerator, Error, Global, and VBArray. For more information about these objects, see the JScript Language Reference section of the Platform SDK.
JScript 5.0 supports exception handling through try...catch statements. JavaScript does not currently provide an error-handing mechanism.
When working with either JScript or JavaScript, there are some subtle differences between the object model implementations supported by various Web browsers. To write script that runs on both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, limit the features used by your scripts to those specified in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standard for HTML version 3.2. For more information about this standard, see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html32.html.
