Most of JavaScript's power comes from manipulating the properties of Java applets and applications. The great advantage of this model is that to make use of JavaScript, you don't have to know how to program in Java.

If you're a Web user, this book will show you how to use JavaScript to take advantage of Java applets and applications to automate and customize client functions, such as managing your bookmarks or performing automated searches periodically. If you're a Web publisher, you'll probably be more interested in using JavaScript with applets and applications that manage Web pages, turn text into HTML, or perhaps to create easier, more powerful user interfaces for the people who visit your Web site -- especially if they use JavaScript, too.
