What is a JS file?
A .JS file is a Javascript Source Code file.
Files containing the .js extension are most commonly associated with JavaScript files. These JS files contain JavaScript code that is used to execute instructions in a Web page that uses client-side scripting.
The functions may include the validation of form fields, rollover images, drop-down menu creation and other functions.
The .js file extension is also used for JACOsub script files, JetScript output files, Netscape settings files and ECMAScript language files.
