Java and Javascript programming language have numerous identical
structures and syntax forms in common. Can you find me a "cheat sheet"
of just the DIFFERENCES between the two languages?

No hurry, whenever it's convenient for you.

Thanks!

Ace,

I'm not quite certain what you mean by "cheat-sheet." Here are a few
sites that discuss the differences between Java and JavaScript:

JavaScript Resources
http://www.jsr.communitech.net/difference.htm

Innovative Technology Center
http://itc.utk.edu/itc/clearinghouse/java/jvsjs.html

First Step
http://www.firststep.com.au/education/solid_ground/javadiff.html

Is this the kind of thing you have in mind?

Yes, but even more specific, i.e.,

Javascript has subroutines designated by the "Sub" and "Function"
keywords, but Java does not; in Java, these are put into their own
separate "methods".

Don't kill yourself on this. Just see what you can find, then post
what you have.

Thanks pink!

I'm afraid I've come up dry. I haven't found any tables which offer
much more specific detail about the differences between Java and
JavaScript. There are many sites that discuss these two languages,
but, as for reference charts (which is what I assume you mean by
"cheat sheet"), I have not been able to find anything substantially
more detailed than the links I posted.

Perhaps you should open this question to other Researchers. I haven't
been an active coder since the 1980s, long before Java was born. I
still think in Pascal. ;-)
