Translating to JScript

JScript is the Microsoft implementation of the ECMA 262 language specification. It is supported by both Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. JScript is the first scripting language to conform to the ECMA 262 standard.

JScript is supported by a wide range of Web browsers, including both Internet Explorer and Navigator.

In addition to the language features provided by JScript, the scripting host may also expose an object model that your script can access. For example, Internet Explorer exposes an object model that enables scripts to interact with and programmatically control the browser. For more information about working with such object models, see the documentation for your scripting host.

For more information about JScript, see the JScript Language Reference section of the Platform SDK. For more information about the ECMA 262 language specification, see http://www.ecma.ch/stand/ecma-262.htm.
