To answer this.. Javascript and Jscript are the same meaning with the different versioning. Jscript is the version of Microsoft javascript. Some time the Document Object Model might differ from the Javascript. And Jscript works only on IE browser.
This might answer your question.

Thanks for the trim code.
Thanks.
