Client-Side Script

A client-side script is script executed by the browser on a user's computer. Client scripts are part of a page, and are sent to the browser when a user requests the page. Client scripts typically run in response to an event, such as when the page loads or when the user clicks a button, and are used to change the appearance of the page or to validate information entered by the user.

The CML application uses client script to:

• Sort library items by title, subject, author, or date published.
• Validate user input before it is sent to the server, such as making sure that the search request is not blank.
• Implement conditional navigation among Web pages, based on user input.
