JavaScript <> Java
Java is in a "pretty secuire" sandbox.
JavaScript can do nearly anything the user running the browser has
permissions to do. Within the limitations imposed by the browser.
Not exactly. JavaScript is quite limited in what it can do and is (in
theory) sandboxed within the browser. e.g. no file or OS operations.
Google "javascript exploit" for 2,680,000 pages talking about it.
I get 4,550,000.
For "java exploit" I get 11,000,000 :-)
