This is a module in the [tcllib] library of [Tcl] code.
Its purpose is to aid developers in generating [HTML] and JavaScript code.
Related modules are [ncgi] and [html].

Documentation can be found at http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/javascript.html .

"JavaScript" is primarily, of course, the language which Tcl's javascript
module targets. 
[[Say a few words on JavaScript as a language.]]

[Zarutian] 28. janúar 2007: Glad to oblige. Javascript is an derivative of [ECMAscript] and is
a cousin to [ActionScript] which is used in Adobe (former Macromedia) [Flash].
Javascript is heavily object oriented prototype based system rather than class based.
And is therefore similar to [Lua] in that regard that objects can obtain new methods and member variables.
[Ajax] is actually Javascript code that relies heavily on XMLPostRequest component and its callbacks.
More about javascript I dont know.

JavaScript and Tcl have a special relation:  both at Sun and Netscape (Mosaic, originally),
the two were in strategic competition.  Roger Binns [[rogerb@rogerbinns.com]]
originally embedded a Tcl interpreter
in the Mosaic browser; "[d]etails are in the proceedings of the 2nd WWW [[C]]onference".
He writes about this that, "The audience were in awe
of a demo that printed an entire book based on following the rel links
in web page headers, got everything in the right order, loaded the pages
and printed".

Netscape chose JavaScript, though.
