While battling Microsoft on the web, Netscape offered its own client-side script on a distributed operating system, running a portable version of Sun Microsystems' Java, because Java was a direct competitor to C++, aimed at professional developers. Netscape wanted a lightweight programming language that could complement Java while appealing to non-professional developers like Microsoft's Visual Basic.

This led to a group of developers creating their own custom libraries and these were open source and free to use. jQuery is a cross-platform Javascript library designed to simplify client-side scripting of HTML.
