What is the difference between client-side script and
server-side script?

Answer

IN A SERVER SIDE SCRIPTING LANGUAGE THE BROWSER WILL FIRsT PLACE THE REQUSET FOR THAT FILE(one.jsp or one.php) TO THE WEBSERVER. IF THE FILE FILE IS PRESENT IN THE SERVER(FOR EXAMPLE IN CASE OF APACHAE WEB SERVER IF THE FILE IS PRESENT
IN htdocs FOLDER)IT WILL SEND THAT FILE TO THE JSP OR PHP ENGINE DEPENDING ON THE FILE EXTENSION FOR PROCESSING.THE OUTPUT OF THIS PROCESSING IS IN BROWSER UNDERSTABLE FORM. APACHAE WILL PUT THIS IN A temp FILE AND PASS IT TO THE BROWSER.THE BROWSER WILL INTERPRET IT AND WE GET THE FINAL OUTPUT IN OUR SCREEN.

IN A CLIENT SIDE SCRIPTING LANGUAGE LIKE JAVASCRIPT MOST OF THE MORDERN BROWSERS COMES WITH BUILT IN JAVASCRIPT INTERPRETER WHICH PROCESSES THE CODE AND GIVES THE OUTPUT. DURING PROCESSING OF A CLIENT SIDE SCRIPTING LANGUAGE THE SERVER IS NOT INVOLVED.
