Client-Side Scripting is the language used by Browsers.
Web browser feature that extends the functionality and interactivity of static HyperText markup language (HTML) web pages. Examples of Client-Side Scripting languages are JavaScript, JScript and VBScript. See also " ActiveX controls", " Java Applets".
is a term used to describe code that runs on the client browser, and not on the server. Client-side scripting enables the application to execute many features that would not otherwise be possible. Some of these features include animation, sound, pop-up menus, and alert boxes. Due to the expanded multitude of client browsers currently in use at UCSF, it is recommended that a 'thin" client be used when developing software. 'Thin" client is a term used to describe an application that performs most of its functionality on the server side, as opposed to the client side.
Script embedded into a web page which causes the end users browser to do something. The best know Client Side scripting is JavaScript; however others do exist (such as VB Script). For Client Side scripting to work however, the end user's browser must be capable to interpret the scripting (not all can), and that the user has given permission to the browser to do so (this is usually the default in most JavaScript capable browsers, although it may be disabled by the end user due to security or other user concerns)
Scripts (e.g.: JavaScript) that are processed by the browser.
Client-side scripting through scripting languages such as JavaScript allows dynamic or interactive features to be added to web pages. Code is added to a web page which is executed in the browser on the client computer. It can be used to, for example, check for the presence of a cookie indicating that a user has visited the site before, and display a different message according to whether the cookie is found. It can also allow users to display or hide content such as help windows or menu bars by clicking on buttons or links, or carry out different actions according to user actions or input.
Class of computer programming on the web which is executed client-side, by the userâ€(tm)s web browser, instead of server-side (on the web server). This type of computer programming is an important part of the Dynamic HTML (DHTML) concept, enabling web pages to be scripted; that is, to have different and changing content depending on user input, environmental conditions (such as the time of day), or other variables. See also Server-side Scripting.
