“HTML pages can make beautiful websites, but the only problem with them is that they are just beautiful and attractive but not active. In order to make your website active and indulge in some user interaction, you can try adding server side scripts to your website and make them dynamic in nature.†Is it necessary to use both server side scripting along with client side scripts? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two? I would also want you to give me some insight into the fundamental useage of DOM (document object model), why is it used?
Serverside scripting doesn't require anything from the end user, its also faster and more efficient. Clientside scripting does, i.e. JavaScript support, and the source is fully viewable, not a good choice for designing a whole site in. DOM has multiple purposes, including Parsing XML and such.
