    Is this Java or JavaScript?

    I've got this code from this site.

    Code:
    var btnTitleChange = $.button("Let's change Frame title").on_click(changeTitle,"Wow, I changed!");
var frame = $.frame("Demo Application")
  .layout($.layout("table",[[20,-1,20],[20,40,10,-1,20]]))
  .add($.button("About").on_click(alert),"1,1")
  .add(btnTitleChange,"1,3");
frame.show();
function changeTitle(title){frame.title(title);}
function alert(){js.alert("Welcome to JavaScript executable!");};
    I'm just a new developer and I wonder if it is really a JavaSript or Java?

    Where can I get tutorials for this programming language?

    ...hoping for your replies. :]

      The site says javascript. W3Schools has a good tutorial.

          Thanks for your reply Sir. Yes, the site say's it's JavaScript but I am getting confused as it needs Java. Then is the code
          Code:
          $.frame(), .layout(), $.button()
          isn't a JavaScript?

              That's javascript. Java is required because it's being used as the compiler/interpreter.

                  Thanks a lot for the quick reply and the time you spare to my questions.. :D

                  I just have 1 more question to ask. I tried looking at Google and also searched W3Schools but i still can't find any codes used in this script:

                  Code:
                  var btnTitleChange = $.button("Let's change Frame title").on_click(changeTitle,"Wow, I changed!");
var frame = $.frame("Demo Application")
  .layout($.layout("table",[[20,-1,20],[20,40,10,-1,20]]))
  .add($.button("About").on_click(alert),"1,1")
  .add(btnTitleChange,"1,3");
frame.show();
function changeTitle(title){frame.title(title);}
function alert(){js.alert("Welcome to JavaScript executable!");};

                      And you're not going to. Those are functions created for their framework. You first need to know javascript before you can learn the framework.

                              The code that the user writes is JavaScript. The program that interprets the code uses Java.

                                  I think you need some foundation work before starting on anything complicated. Check out the tutorials using google and free sites like javabeginner.co m and you will be fine after practicing

                                      You can tell if it's JavaScript by how it calls a new variable-"var"

                                      Also, check for a line that says "<script type='text/javascript'>"
