    Wikipedia is your best friend. check here for JavaScript and Java. if i remember correctly, i suggested you to search in Wikipedia earlier too.

    The short answer is no. They both have "Java" in their names, but are otherwise completely different.

    The longer answer is that JavaScript is an untyped, web-based client-side scripting language, whereas Java is a JIT-compiled, typed, and multi-platform language. While Java does have web applications (applets, etc.), the two languages fulfill very different functions.
