What is SS-JS / Cleanup tag

I want to know how we can say that Javascript is server side scripting bcz as we know it is client side scripting

I add the cleanup tag, because that was also my missunderdstanding. There is only a list of Server that support SS-JS, but WHAT is it? mabdul 0=* 10:39, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps Server-side ECMAScript would be more correct? JavaScript is a scripting language, the main area of usage (that is commonly observed at least) is client side. Just like almost any programming language, it can be used in any area as long as the correct "bindings" (not sure about the correct terminology, but hopefully you understand what I mean) are there, see the Uses outside web pages section in the JavaScript article for some examples.

Bottom-line, SS-JS is a scripting language, (like PHP, ASP, etc.) that are using the syntax of JavaScript/ECMAScript. If I've understood things correctly... --Execvator (talk) 22:00, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jaxer?

Shouldn't Jaxer - http://www.aptana.com/jaxer - be on the list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.216.136 (talk) 12:48, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Table not a useful way to present this data

I found this table both useful and poorly laid out when I was trying to find out about client-side JavaScript for a new project I wanted to try. For a start, most of the links listed are basically small research projects that were of no use to me. It wasn't til I tried the last (and 22nd!!) link, Jaxer, that I found a genuinely popular and supported implementation of the concept (honorable mention to Appjet, also good but more a webapp host than a cross-platform client-side JS implementation).

I feel certain that this area would be better suited as a worded article than a table. The table could perhaps be moved to a List of Server-side JavaScript implementations page. Instead this article could have paragraphs about the difference between client-side and server-side JS, the history and present of server-side JS, popular implementaions and uses, those kinds of things.

In the mean time I'm going to move the Jaxer and Junction listings from the tail end of the table as the rest seem to be in alphabetical order. --Pipedreambomb (talk) 23:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
