Difference between Javascript and JSP?

843835Jan 4 2002 — edited Jan 10 2002

Hey, friends, Happy New Year!!

I am a novice in Jsp field. I want to know fundamental difference between implementation, execution, and behaviour of JSP and JavaScripts!

what i mean is, to execute jsp you need to have servlet engine on your web-server, while to execute javascript, you doesn't need it!!
Both, jsp and javascripts are using java-code internally. So, both of them must be interpreted in order to be executed. (Am I right?)

Then, why jsp needs servlet-engine enabled server and javascript doesn't?

Can anybody please elaborate on this point?
Thanks a lot for your help in making the point clear to me...
