Answer 1

Without the browser you would need something to host / script against so I would say that the os is your first point of call. Some programs provide an extensibility model by using jscript for plugins. You interface with the applications using jscript.

You have .js and .jse files which can be run on the ms scripting host, assuming you are on windows of course.

So in a nutshell I am saying you COULD write in notepad, and double click the .js/.jse file and run it. This would be the simplest approach.
