1. Client Side

   • Advantages
     • The information to process does not need to be downloaded to the client's computer.
     • It does not matter what browser the user has because the work is done on a separate sever.
   • Disadvantages
     • Different browsers process scripts in different ways, therefore the web page owner cannot be sure how their web page will appear on the screen.
     • if a lot of users are asking the server to process data, it could overload the server and cause it to crash.

2. Server Side

   • Disadvantages
     • IF a lot of users are asking the web server to process data, it could overload the server and cause it to run slowly or crash
     • the web page owner is reliant on the processor speed of the clients computer.
   • Advantages
     • The processing occurs on the web server, which is likely to be more powerful than a client's computer
     • Data cannot be intercepted on the client in the way it can when it moves across the internet
