Is WMLScript is like JavaScript and JScript?

The syntax is similar, although with a completely different object model. Client-side JavaScript is used with a object model that is based on the browser model (document, frames, forms, hyperlinks etc.) whereas the WAP device object model is based on cards and decks, so objects will be tailored around these facilities instead. WMLScript is based on ECMAScript, which is an attempt to standardise the JavaScript language. Ironically, Microsoft’s JScript language (a clone of JavaScript, which even keeps some of the Netscape environments objects) achieved ECMA compliancy before JavaScript.
