Glossary of Terms Client-Side Scripting

Browser Scripting

Client-Side Scripting describes programming that is added into a web page to interact with page and browser objects. JavaScript is the most common scripting language; VBScript is also used. While client-side scripting is limited, it does provide basic functions that practically all of the 'better' web sites have integrated into their pages.
 
Typical functions include:

  • Image/Button rollovers
  • Verify user's form data
  • Detect users browser type and select matching content
