Client-side scripting

The client is the computer system (including tablets and mobile devices) which is running the web browser.

Client-side scripting can be used to make web pages change after they arrive at the browser.

Client side scripts can also be used to perform validation of data entered into forms, either using JavaScript or some new features of HTML5.

Client-side scripts are:

  • interpreted by the browser
  • executed on the client system
