I would say well enough that I know Javascript but I have been looking in ASP and ASP.net and I think I would like to use JScript since I know Javascript or are they absolutly different languages. Im pretty sure my choices are JScript, VBscript, C#, C++! But I would like to not have to learn a whole other language!

The differences in the languages themselves is far less that the difference in the environments the languages run under. Javascript (aka JScript, aka ECMAScript aka LiveScript) is basically the same language but the resources available for it to use will vary widely depending upon whether you're running it in a client's web browser, a plugin within the web browser (like a PDF or SVG object) or on a server. Even on the server you'll find yourself looking at multiple options, there's a world of difference between what's available to an ASP application vs an ASP.NET one.
