Do scripts run on my computer or on a Web server?

What will be an ideal response?

Scripts can run on a client (your computer) or on a server. A server-side script consists of statements that run on a server. Server-side scripts accept data submitted by form, process the data, and then generate a custom HTML document that is sent to the browser for display. These Web pages, which are dynamically produced using information generated by the server-side script, can often be identified because they contain question marks in the URL displayed in the Address bar of your browser. Server-side scripts can be written using a variety of programming and scripting languages, such as Perl, PHP, C, C++, C#, Java, and JavaScript. A client-side script consists of scripting languages that run on your local computer. The script is executed by the browser, which must have the capability to interpret the programming language used to write the script. Popular languages for client-side scripts include VBScript and JavaScript. Client-side scripts often take the form of Flash objects, Java applets, or ActiveX controls. Most of today's browsers can run JavaScript, but only Windows Internet Explorer has the built-in capability to run VBScript and ActiveX.
