ECMA stands for European Computer Manufacturer's Association. In 1997, scripting experts from Microsoft, Netscape, IBM, Sun, and other companies met and develped a specification for a standard Web scripting language, which is known as ECMAScript-262. Microsoft upgraded JScript to conform to the ECMAScript-262 standard in IE 4.0 and in IIS 4.0. Netscape has not yet done so, but JavaScript is not substantially different from ECMAScript-262.
