Sure having Java installed does not automatically mean that it works
in your browser, too.

And it's no longer the web. AFAIK Java in browsers is just like movies
in browsers - it just runs in part of the browser window but has no
relation to the originating web page whatsoever - you could equally
well save the applet and run it in a separate window.

On the other hand, JavaScript allows for small pieces of code that
modify the HTML pages in the browser without redownloading the page
from the server.
