That depends on what you mean by JavaScript. Do you mean the language that Netscape JavaScript and later Mozilla JavaScript reference[1] and guide[2] specs specifies? JavaScript as in the language "text/javascript" is interpreted as in browsers? Do you mean the entire language and host environment making up the client side scripting language for web pages? The word "JavaScript" means different things in different contexts to different people. Internet Explorer uses Microsof't JScript engine which implements ECMAScript, some parts of it buggy, some parts of it with proprietary extensions. It doesn't in general implement Mozilla JavaScript additions to ECMAScript. It does send all content that tells it it is JavaScript/LiveScript/JScript/ECMAScript to the same engine.
