Can someone explain to me the point of putting a script into your html. I have read on it and from what i see all it does is the same as what <p> does? Maybe the example I was looking at was lame. I am sure there is more to it than what I am seeing.
<p> is the HTML tag for a paragraph break. The term script, as it has already been stated, is a bit generic. However, scripts are designed to allow server-side processing of functions, where the data should be returned to the user. There are a range of scripts available, so most of them do much more than just create a paragraph break. Jay
That is mainly the answer I was looking for. It was just the example I was being taught was so shady. Can someone give me an example of a script? Anyone it doesn't matter.
Example, if you insert adsense on your page, that's a script. The code they give you to insert is a script.
Web scripting applications are simple programming languages that are used in conjunction with HTML/XHTML documents to perform a variety of document delivery, data processing and display enhancing tasks. There are two kinds of scripting: Client-side that is interactive and takes place via Browsers on user computers and Server-side that runs on the Web author's Server delivering the output to user Browsers. JavaScript is the most popular Client-side scripting language and PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) is the most popular Server-side scripting language. James
Posting on these forums is using a script, when you use a contact form, register on a site. They are all using scripts. Nathan
Ok. So basically anything that isn't plain text is like a script. A flash ad is an example of a script?
