'''Remote Scriptingscripting''' is a technology which allows scripts and programs that are running inside a browser to exchange information with a server. The local scripts can invoke scripts on the remote side and process the returned information. <!-- SPAN!! and see earlestearliest below... '''Remote Scripting''' was developed by [[Microsoft]] -->

The earliest form of asynchronous remote scripting was developed before [[XMLHttpRequest]] existed, and made use of very simple process: a [[static web page]] opens a [[dynamic web page]] (e.g. at other target frame) that is reloaded with new JavaScript content, generated remotely on the [[server side]].

The [[XMLHttpRequest]] and similar "[[client-side script]] [[remote procedure call]]" functions, open the possibility of use and triggering [[web services]] from the web page interface.

The [[XMLHttpRequest]] and similar "client-side script [[remote procedure call]]" functions, open the possibility of use and triggering [[web services]] from the web page interface.

The web development community subsequently developed a range of techniques for remote scripting in order to enable consistent results across different browsers. Early examples include [http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/jsrs/test.htm JSRS] library from 2000, the introduction of the [http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/JavaScript/Articles/GIFAsPipe/Index.cfm Image/Cookie] technique in 2000, and the [http://dotvoid.com/view.php?id

'''JavaScript Remote Scripting''' ('''JSRS''') is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications using a combination of:

*HTML (or [[XHTML]])

* The [[Document Object Model]] manipulated through [[JavaScript]] to dynamically display and interact with the information presented

* A transport layer. Different technologies may be used, though using a script tag or an iframe is used the most because it has better browser support than [[XMLHttpRequest]]

* A data format. [[XML]] with [[WDDX]] can be used as well as [[JSON]] or any other text format.

A similar approach is [[Ajax (programming)|Ajax]], though it depends on the XmlHttpRequest in newer web browsers.
