How can I get hold of Javascript for an imac running OS 9?

As my question may well indicate, I'm a computing igoramus;so if you have an answer, please put it as simply as possible!

Ben,

Javascript is a function of the web browser, not an operating system. The browser interprets the script. So if you have a browser (ok, a browser after say around 1995 that's not a text browser) on that machine, you have access to Javascript.

Netscape 6+ is nice in that it has a built in Javascript tool you can use.

So you don't "get ahold" of Javascript, you write some script inside a <script> block in your HTML and it gets interpreted in the browser.

HTH

Dear Tom,

Many thanks. As I said, I'm an ignoramus!

Best,

Ben
