isn't the scipt the computer language that is used to bring a webpage together, I have always admired the people who can remember allthe different little characters in the scrpt as every little character means something and makes it all work.

The coding languages you use to make websites are refered to as codes :)
scripts is just "add-ons".
The most used coding languages for websites, is HTML, CSS (which must be intergrated with HTML), Flash and Java for games.
Flash can also make games but they run a bit slow

A scripts is basically a extra program for the program.
Every thing is build by codes in the computer world, your harddisk doesn't read english, indian or any other "normal" language.
Your harddisk is reading in binary codes. That means, that all your harddisk is seeing is a bunch of 0's and 1's lined up in codes.
To get those codes to the screen, in a way humans can understand it, this code is beeing send through a compiler, same as when you're sending a signal to the harddisk, your "code" is going through this compiler - just the other way (meaning that when you send a signal to the harddisk, your signal is made to binary code, and when the harddisk sends the respons back to you, this compiler turns the respons into colors on every pixel on the screen, giving you a "picture" you can understand).
The same happens with a script.
A script sends signals to the server which the site is on, telling it what to do, or what just happened.
A script can also be an extension you can download, which makes changes on sites you are looking on.
