The JavaScript language was *invented by Brendan Eich* in a hurry (only ten days of May 1995) at Netscape and first appeared in that company‘s Navigator 2.0 browser. It has appeared in all subsequent browsers from Netscape and in all browsers from Microsoft starting with Internet Explorer 3.0. The development of the "ECMAScript language standard" started in November 1996, based on JavaScript (Netscape) and JScript (Microsoft). Interestingly, "ECMA" was an acronym for the "European Computer Manufacturers Association", but they have changed their name to "Ecma International" since 1994 without capitalization, in order to reflect the global activities of the Europe-based "Ecma" organization, now called "European association for standardizing information and communication systems". Other ECMA standards are: ECMA-334 – C# Language Specification ECMA-335 – Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) ECMA-367 – Eiffel programming language ECMA-372 – C++/CLI Language Specification ECMA-376 – Office Open XML (later known as ISO/IEC 29500) ECMA-388 – Open XML Paper Specification[13] Considering the facts above and that the name of this ng is precisely comp.lang.javascript, I wonder why some regulars in here try to impose their thinking that there is neither "JavaScript" nor "javascript". Sigh. -- Joao Rodrigues (J.R.)
