You wouldn't automatically think that "Oak" and "Livescript" were the
same thing. Oak got renamed Java. IMHO Netscape did the world a
disservice by renaming Livescript to Javascript.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript says
"Despite the name, JavaScript is only distantly related to the Java
programming language, the main similarity being their common debt to the
C syntax. Semantically, JavaScript has far more in common with the Self
programming language and ActionScript which is another ECMAScript."
So no, they are two completely different languages. Posting a Javscript
question in a Java newsgroup is almost like posting a VBscript question
to a C++ newsgroup.
