The JavaScript language has no affordance for security by itself, 
exactly like Java. The implementations of JS (in particular, what would 
amount to standard libraries for JS) as found on most web browsers pay 
as much attention to security as Java's applet sandboxing model does. 
This includes going to such outlandish extremes as giving you the wrong 
data for the color of some text on your page in certain circumstances.
