The OLPC includes xulrunner with Javascript. Many educational applications, especially those focused around large amounts of text, could be programmed in Javascript. There is a lot of freely available Javascript code on the net, often as part of Ajax libraries or apps. However, the OLPC does not have Internet access and any network links will be intermittent. Even Javascript apps will have to run standalone. On the other hand, there is no need to adapt behavior to different broswers. Therefore, this page is for snippets of standalone Javascript code that will work in the OLPC environment.
