An WMLScript is the WAP corollary to JavaScript scripting language that was
popularized by the Netscape Communications.

Standardization efforts by the Netscape helped
to produce the ECMAScript standard, the standard that the WMLScript was based on. While
the JavaScript has since been coopted by the server tool vendors (including the Netscape
and the Microsoft), An WMLScript is the client-only scripting platform used in the
combination with the WML to provide a client side procedural logic. Like an WML, WMLScript
is also compiled via the WAP gateway in a binary form to provide the intelligence to
the mobile clients. In this brief tutorial we will discuss what an WMLScript is and how
to use an WMLScript.
