It can do that John. What you are talking about is Javascript, which is a lightweight version of the language that runs inside of web browsers.
I'm talking about full-blown Java here, which is a programming language, like Cobol, Visual Basic, or C. Like C, Java is platform independent so it can run on a Mac, PC, Unix box, or a Mainframe.
Javascript is used to write a little game or animation that runs in your browser. Java is used to write the order-processing software at your favorite online store, or used to create an online checkbook that interfaces with your bank's mainframe software.
