Yes, but it doesn't use Java. It's likely to use JavaScript instead.
The correct newsgroup for JavaScript questions is comp.lang.javascript.
There are likely to be subtleties involving browser compatibility, so
you'll want to actually ask on the newsgroup devoted to the JavaScript
language. Java is no more like JavaScript than C is like JavaScript,
and your question is about as relevant here as it would be on
comp.lang.c; that confuses a lot of people, but it's still true.
