apache uses javascript?

[brianj]

XP pro machine
apache 2.0.48
php 4.3.6

I would like to execute javascript on my apache http server
example:

<SCRIPT language="javascript">

function doit(){
document.write("doit");
}
doit();
function showscreen(){
alert("hello world");
document.write("Screen Data" + "<hr>" + "<br>");
for (value in window.screen){
document.write("<li>" value + "=" + window.screen[value] + "</li>");
}
alert("hello world");
}
showscreen();
</SCRIPT>

Curently I don't think i have the correct mod. However i'm wondering
two questions.
1)Should i take the time to install the mod and is it going to work
correctly?
2)or should i just forget java and focus on using perl and be done so
it is less headache.

Thank you ahead of time for any advice

Javascript runs in the BROWSER on the CLIENT machine. It does not run on the
server at all.. (unless you specify specifically to run on the server)

BTW Java is NOT the same as Javascript.
