Scripting Clientside or Serverside?
Web pages use scripts to carry out tasks for the user.
This processing can
be done in two ways
Clientside means that the webmaster install the processing
scripts in their own pages. Javascripts and Java applets are examples
Serverside means that webserver does all the processing online.
PHP/ASP/JSP are serverside processing techniques
