That's nitpicking. Javascript was the only language that could be used to manipulate DOM so it's normal to conflate the two.

- uk_programmer 7y agoWell to nitpick your nitpick. Internet Explorer did allow you to use vbscript to manipulate the DOM. http://www.herongyang.com/VBScript/IE-Browser-DOM-API-Document-Object.html http://www.herongyang.com/VBScript/IE-Browser-DOM-API-Docume... Also you can use XSLT to create a new DOM tree in a browser from an XML document. http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=24032&seqNum=9 http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=24032&seqNum... EDIT: I forgot about JScript vs JavaScript vs ECMAScript. https://johnresig.com/blog/versions-of-javascript/ https://johnresig.com/blog/versions-of-javascript/ However much of this isn't relevant today.
