I count 3. OK, three then. There is not much difference between CScript and WScript; both are part of the same environment, the Windows Script Host.

Not necessarily without the (MSHTML) DOM. However, all of the mentioned features are not part of the programming language, JScript, of course. > Gene did not talk about Javascript engines, There are no “Javascript engines”, and it does not change the fact that you have mislabeled ECMAScript implementations. > but about the environment ["browser"].

If you do not agree with my summary, you will have to explain why. But that will involve your understanding what, in general, you were *actually* talking about. > I call the language Jacascript.

Because you have mislabeled the first two/three examples as well. You are _not_ using “Javascript” there, you are using JScript, Microsoft's implementation of ECMAScript. See also or (see also ).
