Are Java and Javascript the same? Do they both do the "same" thing?

No, they are not the same - they are actually very different. Java is developed by Sun and is, in its own right, a fully fledged programming language. To develop in Java you need to download the development kit, and users need to have a runtime environment installed to execute the programs you send them.

Javascript, a scripting language, on the otherhand is implemented within a webbrowser and is, most commonly, "embedded" in a HTML document - it will allow the webbrowser to perform some progmatic tasks as coded by the web developer. It is really limited to this setting.

Here is a web page with far more details on it if you are interested

Java is an Object Oriented Programming language and JavaScript is a distant cousin of Java.  It is also an OOP language.  JavaScript resides inside HTML documents, and can provide levels of interactivity to web pages.  Java used to create standalone applications and a special type of mini application, called an applet.

JavaScript is used in HTML for web designing. Java is used to create any standalone applications, applets or enhancements in websites. You can learn JavaScript & JAVA using online tools. It is better to learn both the languages through proper training.

JavaScript is an object-oriented scripting language used to enable programmatic access to objects within both the client application and other applications.  It was designed to add interactivity to HTML pages.  It can collaborate with HTML source code, enabling Web authors to aroma up their sites with dynamic content.

Nope, they are two entirely different languages..

Java is an object oriented programming language (OOP), while JavaScript is a scripting language. when you say OOP, it is a programming paradigm that allows the creation of "objects" that have data types and data structures. When you say scripting language, it is a programming language that allows control of one or more application.

Java, developed under the Sun Microsystems brand, is a full-fledged object-oriented programming language..It can be used to create standalone applications and a special type of mini application, called an applet. Applets are downloaded as separate files to your browser alongside an HTML document, and provide an infinite variety of added functionality to the Web site you are visiting.
JavaScript, developed by Netscape, is a smaller language that does not create applets or standalone applications. In its most common form today, JavaScript resides inside HTML documents, and can provide levels of interactivity far beyond typically flat HTML pages -- without the need for server-based CGI (Common Gateway Interface) programs.

JavaScript and Java are two different programming languages.  Java is a server-side, statically typed language.  JavaScript is a mostly client-side, dynamically typed language.
