An Evolving Background Color Using JavaScript

JavaScript is the scripting language of the Internet. It is the most popular scripting language on the World Wide Web and is used in millions of Web pages to power rich, interactive content and increasingly powerful web applications. JavaScript is an interpreted, high-level language like BASIC, yet it has a syntax similar to C and Java. This makes it easy to learn, easy to test, and easy to debug. An interpreter (also known as an "engine") takes the high-level, plain-text JavaScript code and translates it on the fly into native instructions on the current machine. JavaScript was created by Netscape to be a portable language independent of the underlying operating system. Netscape continues to enhance the JavaScript language to provide greater power and ease of use.
