The Birth Of Javascript

[ewan]

Hi there,
Just wondering if anyone knows when Javascript became available for designers to use within web pages. Also, if anyone knows the same for HTML. Thanks for your help.

[Jeff Lange]

Javascript became available to web development in Netscape 2.0.

Cheers for that Jeff. Do you happen to know what your that would have been?

[Jeff Lange]

not sure, you could probably search google for the release date of netscape 2.0.

(I have a netscape 3.0 Javascript book, it talks a little bit about NS2 Javascript)
