I read somewhere that Java and JavaScript are two quite different things. According to the definition at http://www.pcwebopedia.com/TERM/J/JavaScript.html, "...Although it shares many of the features and structures of the full Java language, it was developed independently."

I suggest you try to take a course on JavaScript, or do some reading on the Internet. The hyperlink above gives several links.
