'''Client-side scripting''' generally refers to the class of [[computer program]]s on the [[World Wide Web|web]] that are [[Execution (computers)|executed]] ''[[client-side]]'', by the user's [[web browser]], instead of ''[[server-side]]'' (on the [[web server]]). This type of [[computer programming]] is an important part of the [[Dynamic HTML]] (DHTML) concept, enabling [[web page]]s to be [[Script (computer programming)|scripted]]; that is, to have different and changing content depending on user [[input]], environmental conditions (such as the time of day), or other variables.
