Client-side scripting generally refers to the class of computer programs on the web that are executed client-side, by the user's web browser, instead of server-side. This type of computer programming is an important part of the Dynamic HTML concept, enabling web pages to be scripted; that is, to have different and changing content depending on user input, environmental conditions, or other variables. Client-side scripts are often embedded within an HTML or XHTML document, but they may also be contained in a separate file, to which the document that use it make reference. Upon request, the necessary files are sent to the user's computer by the web server on which they reside. The user's web browser executes the script, then displays the document, including any visible output from the script. Client-side scripts may also contain instructions for the browser to follow in response to certain user actions,. Often, these instructions can be followed without further communication with the server. By viewing the file that contains the script, users may be able to see its source code.
