This displays the date and time here right now for me Mon Mar 10 19:29:28 EDT 2008

Code:
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write("<P>right now: " + new Date() + "<P>");
//-->
</SCRIPT>

That is not java. It is javascript. There is a huge difference between java and javascript. As Douglas Crockford puts it,
Quote
The Java- prefix suggests that JavaScript is somehow related to Java, that it is a subset or less capable version of Java. It seems that the name was intentionally selected to create confusion, and from confusion comes misunderstanding. JavaScript is not interpreted Java. Java is interpreted Java. JavaScript is a different language.

JavaScript has a syntactic similarity to Java, much as Java has to C. But it is no more a subset of Java than Java is a subset of C. It is better than Java in the applications that Java (fka Oak) was originally intended for.

JavaScript was not developed at Sun Microsystems, the home of Java. JavaScript was developed at Netscape. It was originally called LiveScript, but that name wasn't confusing enough.

Still there is a Java portion of this forum so by labeling it Java it creates confusion so I would just rename it. Also as Omikron said Java is NOT the same as JavaScript. Netscape renamed LiveScript because of the rising Java they did it as clever yet confusing advertisement trick.

Javascript

It's a scripting language you see? <script> maybe?

Java is a programming language?
