Without scripting, the Web would be only as interactive as one of those games. Content laid out in this way is called browsable content. Although it's quite useful for some applications, this format can be very restrictive and does not allow for true interactivity. With only browsable content, your Web experience would be limited to the preconceived scenarios of the Web site author.
Scripts permit two-way interaction between the Web site and the user browsing the site.
A script can even be used to build games and other interactive programs. ZDNet and ZDNet logo are registered trademarks of ZD Inc. Content originally published in Ziff Davis Media publications is the copyrighted property of Ziff Davis Media. Ziff Davis Media. All Rights Reserved.
