Occurring on the client side of a client-server system. For example, on the World Wide Web, JavaScript scripts are client-side because they are executed by your browser (the client). In contrast, CGI scripts are server-side because they run on the Web server. Javaapplets can be either server-side or client-side depending on which computer (the server or the client) executes them.
