When JavaScript is built into a web browser, the interpreter is an integral part of the application. However, it is technically possible to separate the JavaScript interpreter and provide it as a service that is available to all applications in the system. This seems to be the way that JScript is going on the Windows platform. Whether the browser-based script environment is truly sharing the Windows Script Host facilities may depend on the browser version being used.
A web browser based interpreter will execute JavaScript that is provided in the following containers:
* An HTML page
* A JavaScript include (.js file)
* A Java archive (.jar file)
To add JavaScript to your HTML pages, you need to add <SCRIPT> tags as containers for the script source text.
