Hello,
I'm new to this side of the fence, is JavaScript of JScript worthy to study on or in another words, which one has more market share? Currently, I use MSN browser both at home and work, but what is the prognosis for the technologies?
Thanks in Advance,
MCao

I personally would stick to JavaScript and avoid a micrsoft based langauge of JScript which is not supported by now Microsfot browsers....
It was MS call to JavaScript when Netscape first implemented it into its version 2 browser...I think it was 2...
Here is a quick read tha sums up your question
