A situation in which you will use both Client Side and Server Side programming?

Question

Can you give an example of the following situations:

1. A situation in which you will use both Client Side and Server Side programming.

2. A situation with only Client Side programing.

3. A situation with only Server Side programming.

Answer 1

1. Most common is used for Form processing:

Client side programming is used for form validation and Server side is used to process the posted form.



2. Rollover buttons (image changes when a user moves mouse over it - used a lot in navigation bar). Manipulating HTML elements on the fly.



3. Server side programing is used anytime there is a need for dynamic contents, for accessing data from a database etc.

Answer 2

It's really this simple: Server side programs run on the server. Client side programs run on the client. For example, when you go to a Yahoo! Answer page, server side programs decide what questions to show you. Server side programs access Yahoo's database to tell you how many thumbs up and thumbs down each answer has. But when you press the thumbs up button next to my answer (hint, hint), a client side program is invoked that reports that Yahoo and changes the number next to the thumbs up.

Answer 3

1. a programmable form that interacts with the user on the client and the CGI/Servlet/etc that massages the data on the server



2. Redirection



3. any Database retrieval, massaging output based on the browser type......
