core versus client side

[AffiliateDreamer]

Hi,

Is the API in javascript seperated when talking about core javascript and client side?

A book i've seen seems to seperate the API like that?

I don't get your question. I can tell that JavaScript is such a thing that runs only in user's web browser. It can change page that is loaded in the browser, load other pages, and send data to the server and receive answers.

You may write all JavaScript yourself, but to ease the task, several frameworks have been created -- look at PrototypeJS.org or MooTools.net

Javascript is predominantly used on the client-side as Otaku states, but can also be used or the server or to program your toaster. Core javascript refers to the part always present, independent of the application.
