Netscape technologies Netscape created the JavaScript web page scripting language.

Other web browsers claimed to be compatible with Netscape's extensions to HTML, and therefore used the same name in their User-Agent identifiers so that web servers would send them the same pages as were sent to Netscape browsers.

Standardization In November 1996, Netscape submitted JavaScript to Ecma International to carve out a standard specification, which other browser vendors could then implement based on the work done at Netscape.

The first JavaScript engine was created by Brendan Eich at Netscape, for the Netscape Navigator Web browser.

The Netscape Navigator web browser was succeeded by the Netscape Communicator suite in 1997.

The suite again consisted of Netscape Navigator and the other Communicator components, with the addition of a built-in AOL Instant Messenger client, Netscape Instant Messenger.

To avoid trademark ownership problems with the NCSA, the browser was subsequently renamed Netscape Navigator in the same year, and the company took the name Netscape Communications.
