Etymology

Borrowed from Javanese ꦗꦮ (jawa), possibly from Sanskrit यव-द्वीप (yava-dvīpa, “island of barley”), used in reference to coffee grown on Java and nearby islands since at least 1850. The programming language (initially called Oak) is a reference to java, the blend of coffee from the island.

    • 1996 December 10, Cédric Bouckaert, “onBlur event handler with input fields”, in comp.lang.javascript (Usenet):
      In the input tag I include the onBlur="myfunction()" which checks if the field is filled (displays an alert if necessary and resets the focus). If I leave the first field I get an java alert which says that field two should have a value and then a java alert which says that field one should have a value and then a java... get the picture ?

Usage notes

edit
