hi,

 according to my knowledge, 
 1) jscript and javascript are two different languages. ofcourse there is a
compatibility issue because javascript accepts netscape object model
seldomly and jscript favo is IE. 

 jscript understand most of the objects by default where as javascript has
to follow strict conditions.
 although jscript has been made as a standard, there are minor difference
lying between them.

 ActiveX components are always easy for jscript where as for javascript it
needs special interfaces.
 jscript supports component building, javascript doesnot support it fully.
 jscript is syntactically easy , javascript is not.
 jscript can use most of the objects directly, javascript uses strict DOM.
 jscript is not a good choice , javascript will be..

 the reference which can help all of us is www.wdvl.com or www.microsoft.com
site.
 there are sites like www.javascript.com and www.guysfrom4rolla.com which
can give some more information.

HI, from my understanding that JSCRIPT and JAVASCRIPT are two different
things. Some of the questions:

1) Is there a compatibiltiy issue with browsers? Like JSCRIPT with IE or
JAVASCRIPT cant be with IE?

2) Any other issues which you deemed to add in?

3) Any other reference which you can point me to?

thanx!
