JavaScript is used to create dynamic web pages that include pop up menus and animations on HTML pages. If the web pages are to be run on an Apache web server, then the Apache server needs to be configured for Server Side Includes (SSI). This functionality allow servlets or small server side code snippets to communicate with the browser programs called applets and can even be used to generate complete web pages. In Apache this functionality is enabled by editing the "httpd.conf" file.
