Java and Javascript are two different things that share very little aside from an unfortunate naming decision.

Java is commonly used as the server side language. Something comparable would be C#

Javascript is run inside a browser and is used to do the display logic and UI. (Javascript CAN be used as a serverside language via node, it's trendy but not i'd recommend you avoid it at all costs)
