In client-side scripting, where are the scripts executed?

In client-side scripting, the scripts are executed on the client's computer, typically within a web browser. This means that when a user visits a website, the browser downloads the HTML, CSS, and client-side JavaScript files. The JavaScript code then runs locally on the user's device, allowing for dynamic content updates, interactivity, and better responsiveness without needing to communicate with the server for every action.

This approach enhances user experience by reducing the load on the server and providing immediate feedback. For example, if an event occurs, like a button click, the browser can immediately execute the associated JavaScript code without needing to wait for a server response.

The other options do not accurately reflect where client-side scripts are executed. The server processes server-side scripts, the database is used for data storage and retrieval, and the web server is responsible for delivering web content but does not execute client-side scripts.
