Web Browsers with Javascript?

It's too bad there are no text-mode w3 browsers with some form of 
JScript interpreter.  The script is not just used to animate images.  
I've encountered instances where it's used to pre-process user input on 
forms.  

Not sure what my school is doing.  When I was there, JavaScript 
had 
yet to be invented.  Pascal was the "teaching language".  If a Windows 
user asks "how do I learn to program", I even suggest starting with 
HTML and JavaScript.  With IE or Navigator, you have a ready-made 
programmiong environment.  One can do all the basics in JavaScript:  
pattern matching (yes, it's full 'regular expressions'), loops, if-else, 
switch(), arrays, user-defined functions, etc, with 
c-like syntax, but, without those pesky pointers:).  In my employment 
situation, I use JScript in some of my w3 content.
