Regarding: "When web developers talk about using JavaScript in Internet Explorer, they silently mean JScript in Internet Explorer." I think this statement is
a) vauge
Line 36 ⟶ 46:
== JScript is not Javascript ==
[http://javascript.about.com/library/bljscript.htm JScript is not Javascript] has a simple example of problematic differences between the two. The JScript article really should be more clear about the differences, but the current content is very vague. --
:It is not a language difference, it is host environment difference. IE installs those variables in global, not JScript. You will also get them if you use Perl or VB on same host and you will not get them (obviously), if you run it it in wscript.exe/cscript.exe. Statement about this being a language difference is completely wrong and I will remove it in a few days unless anybody have any valid objection. --[[User:Rowaasr13|Rowaa[SR13]]] ([[User talk:Rowaasr13|talk]]) 06:57, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
:To clarify: what said above applies to entire sentence that refers to article at About.com - those "extra commands" mentioned are just a host object functions. So I will remove this sentence completely with both references. --[[User:Rowaasr13|Rowaa[SR13]]] ([[User talk:Rowaasr13|talk]]) 08:28, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
== Some additional suggestions ==
I think this article would benefit from an example, and possibly some historical information (although this is possibly covered to great extent by historical notes in [[JavaScript]] and [[ECMAScript]]. Also, I don't think that ECMAScript influenced JScript in the sense meant by "Influenced" in the Infobox. As of this date, I think the article is much improved since it was tagged as having multiple issues (e.g. the notes and references have been cleaned up and reviewed).

== IE9 should refer to JavaScript, not to JScript ==
Checking the [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hbxc2t98%28v=vs.84%29.aspx MSDN] for JScript, IE 8 will be the last browser to use JScript, and IE9 onward will use JavaScript. The main difference is that
* JScript uses the [[Windows Script Host]] platform and refers to EcmaScript 3 for its syntax
* JavaScript uses [[Chakra_(JScript_engine) | Chakra]] and refers to EcmaScript 5 for its syntax
I think this information should appear on the page. For an example in [[JScript#Versions | Versions]] section, we have to indicate that IE 9 will use JavaScript moving forward.
Let me know your thoughs on how to best present the information.

== Maintenance and rating of JavaScript articles ==
Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...
=== Collaboration...===
If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript]] and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.
=== Where to list JavaScript articles ===
We've found over 300 [[Index of JavaScript-related articles|JavaScript-related articles]] so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list.
=== User scripts ===
The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject JavaScript|let us know]]!
If you have need for a user script that does not
yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests]]. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.
=== How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention ===
If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript#JavaScript-related articles that need attention|list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention]].
=== Rating JavaScript articles ===
At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article. Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.
Thank you. [[User talk:The Transhumanist|<i>The Transhumanist</i>]] 01:10, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
