Java and JavaScript are different things.


JavaScript is a scripting language often implemented in the context of a Web browser. Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) is a very old OS (dating from 2007). The selection of Tiger-compatible browsers that support JavaScript may be slim, and the version that they support may be outdated.

Getting Javascript on a Mac mini:


IMPORTANT:

Back Up the Mac Prior to Install:

Start by creating a Time Machine backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the java install. Go Here: Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support


Installing macOS on 10.4:

You Can't. From what is available, Java can only be installed on Lion and Later.

  1. Go herehttps://www.java.com/en/download/help/download_options.html#macAs
  2. As it reads: "Oracle Java can be installed on Mac versions 10.7.3 or later. A 64-bit browser (Safari, for example) is required to run Oracle Java on Mac."
