It's mostly use for web development along with another language such as HTML.

A lot, actually. You can use Javascript combined with DOM to make interactive documents. All those dropdown/roll-down menus are Javascript manipulating Document Objects. There are GRAPHICS games that's made in Javascript. Not that many, but a few. I think someone actually made a Wolfenstein 3D clone in Javascript. (Not that many levels, but it's real 3D in a browser!)The language is also a decent starting point to other stuff, like true Java and JSP

Javascript is a platform independent program which you can use in your HTML files. You can do lots of useful things to spice up your visitors view experience. While an entire site can be built on JS, most people use the scripts with HTML for nifty utilities, like, feedback form verification, showing current date, image change on mouse-over links etc. You will get millions of free javascripts for your web site provided by thousands of web sites. Just search for "free javascripts" in yahoo, and you will find them all. Just cut-paste the code in the desired section in your HTML and you are ready to go!
