Javascript

Javascript is an implementation of the ECMAScript language standard and is typically used to enable programmatic access to computational objects within a host environment. It often used to trigger simple interactive features such as opening new browser windows. It is also considered a functional programming language like Scheme and OCaml because it has closures and supports higher-order functions.

Applets

Any small application that performs one specific task, sometimes running within the context of a larger program, perhaps as a plug-in is called as applets in computing. However, the term typically also refers to Java applets. That is  programs written in the Java programming language that are included in a web page.

HTML

HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. A markup language is a set of markup tags, and HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages.
