Yes, that was what I meant. How exactly would a  site use Java though,
is this an external bit of software needed to access the site then?
JavaScript isn't a "web extension"; it's a programming language hosted in the browser and used by webpages.
Java is a programming language and isn't directly offered by the browser. However, there are Java browser plugins with a wide install base that allow developers to embed little Java applications in webpages. The browser hands over execution of these "applets" to the Java plugin. Examples of applet uses include games, WYSIWYG editors, bulk file uploaders, media players, and chat programs.
