1997: Netscape Crossware vs the Windows Web
Briefly

"Crossware describes on-demand applications that run across networks and operating systems, and are based entirely on open Internet standards like HTML, Java, and JavaScript."
"To turn JavaScript into an open standard, Netscape approached a European computing standards body called the ECMA in November 1996."
"There are three known implementations of ECMAScript in common use today: Netscape JavaScript 1.1, Borland JavaScript 1.1 and Microsoft JScript."
