You can find a brief description and the aims at this page. http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=JSTL The article is entitled "A new language for designing web pages ". I think the title says it all. As you may know JavaScript was developed by Netscape Corp. specifically developed for the construction of web pages. JavaScript was designed so that it can be intermingled with HTML , furthermore it can be used to create full-function stand alone applications. JavaScript can do the following :- - Animate graphics and text - to a limited extent. - play sounds; - have better control of the display of windows and frames; - check information entered into forms , and give your readers instant feedback.
