In 1997, JavaScript was created to bring life to web pages, letting a developer dynamically change content and make webpage content seem less static. In JavaScript, we use scripts that can be written right in a web page’s HTML and run automatically as the page loads. JavaScript was initially a client-side scripting language, meaning that it was only used on the user’s side of the browser. This included sending forms, creating cookies, and displaying text and images.
