    JScript and JavaScript are the same. They’re just aliases for each other:

    (via Wikipedia)

    As explained by JavaScript guru Douglas Crockford in his talk entitled The JavaScript Programming Language on YUI Theater, “[Microsoft] did not want to deal with Sun about the trademark issue, and so they called their implementation JScript. A lot of people think that JScript and JavaScript are different but similar languages. That’s not the case. They are just different names for the same language, and the reason the names are different was to get around trademark issues.”

    The only scripting differences between the 2 will be in cross-browser differences.
