'''Remote Scripting''' is a technology which allows scripts 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 earlest 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 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=13 JavaScript on Demand] technique in 2002.
