JS
Javascript, abbreviated as JS, is a computer language created by the Netscape computer programming company. Javascript is a computer code of numbers and symbols that cause different functions when used in the compilation of web pages. Javascript can be written into the HTML code of a web browser window or website in order to perform numerous different tasks.

JS or javascript is language that was created by Netscape and is responsible for different functions that are performed in browser windows and on webpages. This language javascript is used to perform these various functions on webpages when written into the HTML code. Web users do not have to specifically activate any certain program for the functions to work.

JS is another term used when describing the programming language designed by the Netscape Company; also known as javascript. This language, which is a compilation of both symbols and numbers, is used to allow the performance of certain functions on a website. The language is written into a website's HTML code, which allows a specific action to be initiated when a certain action is performed by a website user.

In the computer world, scripting languages are used to write simple scripts and allow for short command programs to run within a website. Javascript or JS is one such language, and it uses a series of numbers and symbols, which are written into the HTML code and allow for specific functions to be completed.
There are different types of JS that perform different functions. Different types of javascript are created when it is combined with other languages, such as when cascading style sheets are combined with javascript to form CSS javascript. The new combination is able to create bold effects when used in dynamic HTML active scripting. A second example of this is PHP javascript; when javascript is combined with a hypertext preprocessor script. The disadvantage of this type is that the javascript leaves no room for error, and will only be displayed correctly if all information is input correctly.
JS and javascript menus are triggered by the actions of an Internet user as he or she interacts with webpages, such as clicking on a link or scrolling over a linked or highlighted word or phrase. Javascript in websites or browser windows is responsible for the connection of web site links. This is done so that when an Internet user clicks on a linked word or phrase on one page, they are automatically directed to the linked page, which will typically initiate a new window to open. Javascript can also cause text or images to appear when a mouse is rolled over a certain location on a web page. Javascript is also responsible for the initiation of popups.

When an Internet user makes their way around the internet by clicking links and interacting with the information on different pages, menus written in JS are triggered. Websites utilize javascript to allow clickable links to open up new pages to show information. While this is a very common use for javascript, it is not the only one. Javascript is also used to make images and text appear when the user rolls their mouse over certain areas of web pages. Another action that javascript is used for is to initiate the activation of annoying popups.

JS menus are activated when the person surfing the internet interacts with the webpages they are viewing. These interactions can include clicking on active links or scrolling over highlighted phrases or words. Javascript allows the clickable link to direct the user to a new page that contains the information they desire. Javascript is also used to activate popup windows and popup ads when the user browses web pages.
Javascript can be disabled as part of a pop up killer program to block popups from opening in new windows. Disabling JS for this purpose is also often successful in preventing infected popups from accidentally being downloaded to the user's computer. A new trend called click-jacking involves the use of javascript to cause unaware Internet users to download spyware and viruses to their computer. In this use of javascript, specific viruses are scripted into the HTML code of a pop up ad, and when the "x" button is pressed a virus is downloaded onto the user's computer, in addition to closing the popup.

JS can be disabled in order to stop popups or block them. Disabling javascript in this manner can stop the pop ups from opening in the new window and alleviating the necessity of having to close multiple pop up windows. Being able to disable javascript can help prevent dangerous viruses from being activated through a website. One reason why disabling javascript can help prevent virus infections is the fact that without javascript enabled, click-jacking isn't a problem. Click-jacking is when a virus is slipped into the HTML code for a pop up ad. When the user attempts to close the pop up by hitting the x, the virus is activated on the user's computer.
##
Being able to disable popups and the associated javascript can be very useful for many reasons. One is the fact that it can help keep down the amount of viruses that can infect a user's computer. If a virus is maliciously written and hidden into the HTML code, such as when JS is needed to close a pop up box, then disabling javascript will stop the virus from infecting the user's computer. This new trend of dropping a virus on a computer is called click-jacking. The virus is written into the script and is activated when the user attempts to close the popup ad window. Disabling the javascript for this reason alone can be extremely useful. Disabling javascript can, of course, stop pop ups from opening in the first place. This is not only perfect for those times that a virus could infect the computer, but also to keep the amount of browser windows that open automatically down to a minimum.

Popup Window
Specific scripting is responsible for the annoying pop ups, such as JavaScript. The pop up image or pop up ad is usually just an advertisement attempting to induce shopping and impulse buying; however, some are spyware popups that allow computer viruses to infiltrate your computer hardware. Some can cause a seemingly endless stream of pop up windows to plague your computer screen, with more pop up windows popping up to replace each one that is closed.
Defeating Popups
Tech support people are always amazed by the level of incompetence that many computer users show. It is not uncommon for an untrained computer user to inadvertently download a vicious software program that fills their computer screen with popups and allows for viruses and Trojans. The problem could be easily avoided had the user bought computer software protection.
Use Your Popup Blocker
If you did an online survey asking people how they felt about popup advertisements, you would most likely get a large response from people stating that they find them quite annoying. Popups can actually cause individuals to not want to return to a particular website, simply because they do not want to be bothered with the ads. For these people, a popup blocker can be the best solution.
