javascript for non-browser app?

Is there a javascript interpreter that can be used to create GUI
desktop applications outside of a browser?
The Spidermonkey product has no GUI capability. The Java based
interpreters use swing GUI components which I dont like.

If you're working in a Windows environment, you can create
Hypertext Applications. Google finds lots of information.

If you're on a Mac, you can try the JavaScript OSA:

http://www.latenightsw.com/freeware/...OSA/index.html

"JavaScript OSA is a port of the Mozilla JavaScript 1.5
scripting system to the Macintosh in the form of a OSA (Open
Scripting Architecture) component. You can use JavaScript OSA
as a scripting language in any Macintosh application supporting
OSA languages, such as the Script Editor included with the MacOS
or our own Script Debugger product."

Cheers, Fred

Hello everyone. I am not fluent in JavaScript, so I might overlook the obvious. But in all other programming languages that I know and that have associative arrays, or hashes, the elements in the hash are alphabetically sorted if the key happens to be alpha numeric. Which I believe makes sense because it allows for fast lookup of a key.

I am not sure if anyone of you have had such experience. I am trying to use a popup calendar control in my web application. I've tried all kinds of 3rd-party date pickers. For example, the RJS Popup Calendar, the DaintyDate date picker, the AjaxControlToolkit's popup calendar, Matt Kruse's javascript popup calendar. Normally, all of them work with no problem. But, if I put any of them in a non-default View of a MultiView, I

I made a change to the FAQ of javascript to EcmaScript. I got some feedback that the newsgroup is CLJ and the language is commonly referred to as JavaScript. Therefore, the word in the FAQ should be JavaScript. So I'm asking: what should I use in the FAQ? Technically, 'JavaScript' is Mozilla's implementation of Ecma-262.
