I want to install some code in a page that uses java script...

Will it work with IE6 by default or will the client have to install Java ??

(I had heard IE6 wouldn't work with Java by default...l but the user could
install it... even though java is different than "java script")

thanks for any help...

Java and JavaScript are two completely different technologies and the only
thing common between them is the word "Java".

Yes, JavaScript will work unless the user has disabled it.

javascript is "on" by default when any version of IE is installed.
javascript is a stand alone scripting language which will operate
in any browser that allows it to be used, ( most do ) as long as it doesn't
require or "call" any java applets or class files

Java Virtual Machine, ( also known as java ) is the one that must
be downloaded and installed, as it uses applets that call on class files
contained in the java subdirectory, which is created in the windows
directory
when JVM is installed.

Example: Hover buttons use class files, which is why they won't
work without JVM installed.

javascript and java are two entirely different things
