client-side processing

client-side processing

1. client-side processing is the use of a scripting language to create code on web pages which provides interactivity.

2. the interaction takes place within th web page and the code is downloaded to the users computer when the web page is opened by the users browser.

3. A good example of a client-side interaction is a roll over (often called a mouseover), where some code is triggered when you move the mouse over a particular part of the web page.

4. benifits

   • speed: The interaction may be faster once the code has been downloaded with the page.
   • Security: It is more secure (than server-side processing) as all the action takes place in the downloaded page and nothing comes from the browser, which could cause corruption or security problems.
