jQuery vs Javascript

[Dottleshead ★]

Let's hear it.  Who wins??

[Ralphie ★]

I don’t know, but why do we have both Java and  JavaScript?  As I understand it they have nothing to do with each other. This is annoying.

Yeah.  They are quite different.

Neither.

JavaScript, was originally named Mocha, later it was renamed to LiveScript, and then to JavaScript.

The LiveScript to JavaScript name change came because Netscape and Sun did a license agreement.

The language was then submitted for standarization to the ECMA International Organization. By that time, Netscape didn't allow the use of the "JavaScript" name, so the standarized language is named ECMAScript.

JavaScript isn't actually an open name. Now it's a trademark of Sun (now Oracle).

There still a lot of confusion, some people still think that JavaScript, JScript, and ECMAScript are three different languages.

ECMAScript is the "standards" name for the language.

JavaScript is technically a "dialect" of ECMAScript, the Mozilla Foundation can use "JavaScript" as the name of their implementations (currently present on the Rhino and SpiderMonkey engines).

In the early days, Microsoft decided also to do what Netscape was doing on their own browser, and they developed JScript, which is also an ECMAScript dialect, but was named in this way to avoid trademark issues.

Neither one will teach you to use the post as plain text button.

I was given this project.  I did not ask for it.  But I've had to dig through it so I can understand just what in the hell it might be doing.  I can style it if you'd like.  Not.

They are not separate.

jQuery is more of a platform you add on to.  It helps run JavaScript.

JavaScript is more of an independent one off that you write into a page as needed.

As least that's what my small brain understands.

I have mixed feelings on that. While I usually respect your preference for plain text, usually the rich text brings nice bennies like links that work and nice formatting. Every choice is a trade off.

Agreed.  You think they would have included Comic Sans, at least.

You are correct. jQuery is a library written in JavaScript. @maddmaxx got the solution but you win the prize. You could add that PRIZE control in jQuery if you'd like.
