JScript is the Microsoft implementation of Javascript.

 

In fact the name "JavaScript" is often used to refer to ECMAScript or JScript.

 

jQuery is nothing, just a collection of normalized methods and utilities which has been written in JavaScript.

JavaScript is the common term for a combination of the ECMAScript programming language plus some means for accessing a web browser's windows and the document object model (DOM).

 

JScript is Microsoft's version of JavaScript. The programming language itself is very similar to ECMAScript, but the DOM access differs in many respects.

 

JQuery is a JavaScript library that handles many commonly used features and also handles the differences between the browsers, e.g., Internet Explorer and standards-compliant browsers. It's something you can use to reduce the amount of work when creating web-based applications.
