This is the ultimate newbee question. Please be tolerant.
As I understand it, javascript is basically a programming language that runs through an assembler. If that is the case, where is the assembler? Is it part of most browsers and I need only supply the code in order for it to function? Or is javascript and the javascript runtime componants something that need to be downloaded and installed? Depending on the answer, do I need to download and install anything in order to begin using javascript in my web pages? Does the end-user have to have javascript (manually/physically) installed in order for scripting to function on his computer?
Thanks
