What is Java?
Java is a programming language that can be used in web pages. You might hear the term “applets” used to describe Java that is running in a web page.
Why does your website need Java?
Java applets are the beating heart of Worksheet Magic. They are used to serve all of the worksheets, which are provided in very high quality definition - similar to desktop publishing programs you may have installed on your computer. This means no jagged edges or blocky pictures. What you see on screen is output in beautiful, smooth curves to your printer (that’s the dream, anyway.)
Are there any security risks associated with turning on Java?
As with any programming language, yes. Java applets cannot read or write files on your computer, and as such cannot plant a virus on your system, nor steal any data stored on your machine. Indeed, when any of the applets on our website attempt to talk to your printer, your browser will even ask your permission first. Most browsers manufacturers are so confident about Java they enable it by default.
Where can I download and install the latest version of Java?

Is Java anything to do with Javascript?
You’d think so, but no. They’re completely unrelated; however, this site uses both.
