Web Browsers with Javascript?

[Steve Holmes]

I've seen a lot of java script in forms as well; it is a good means of
validating user input before it is shipped off to the host again.  I don't
think java script is necessarily so bad, I just wish some of the text-only
browsers' developers would consider looking into supporting it. Java is
publically available, isn't it?
