RESPONSE:

Let's look at the definitions and the functions of client-side and server-side scripting. This is often a good starting place, since it will be easier to locate the websites that use these scripts when we know the different kind of functions served by each of these script types.

Scripts are used to execute special code either on the browser or on the web server.

1. Client-side Scripting

A script such as JavaScript or VBScript that runs on the browser is called client side script.
JavaScript, and VBScript are the examples of client side scripts. Note that scripts are interpreted languages, and differ from programming languages such a Java or C++. The later are compiled before being executed.

This might be considered a limitation since anyone can copy the code and put it on another Web page. Client-side ...
