The syntax that you have shown is used by a Macintosh scripting language called Javascript OSA, (JSOSA). This is not a web-browser technology, but is rather a scripting language for use on the Macintosh itself, ie: you can use Javascript OSA in the same way you would use AppleScript, within compiled script files or script applets. It is not embedable in HTML.

The webpage for Javascript OSA is here:

Could you provide us with an example of the sorts of things you would like to do? There may be alternative AppleScript solutions you are not aware of.
