Objects, properties and methods fall into many categories. It helps to understand why an item is available and what it does if you can map it into a particular context. Here is a summary of the different categories we use:
| Category: | Description: |
|---|---|
| Browser | Language elements that are really only useful on the browser side. |
| Core | Language elements that form part of the core of the language. |
| Desktop | Language facilities provided to aid desktop automation. |
| Embedded | Language facilities particularly intended for use in embedded interpreters. |
| Generic | Topics that discuss something that could be used server-side or client-side are categorized as generic. Properties and objects may be defined server-side and deployed client-side. |
| Microsoft | There are many proprietary additions by Microsoft. These are the particularly noteworthy items and are generally non portable. |
| Server | Language elements that are really only useful on the server-side. |
| Shell | Language facilities that are added for use in shell scripts. |
