didn’t they take out java support in xp? so in theory doesn’t that mean any java script wouldn’t work in xp unless they downloaded java from Sun’s website?

Java and Javascript are technically different.

Java is a programming language while Javascript is a Web language.

They basically do 2 different things.

EDIT: Java Applets ARE programs. They are programs that are written to work on Java enabled browsers. So technically, if your browser has the Java Plug-In you should be good to go as far as that.
