A script is a type of computer code that can be used to make your Web page dynamic. For example, a script could be used to include a "number of visitors" counter that increments each time someone visits your Web page. Or a script could be used to include a countdown to a special event: "only x more days", where x decreases by 1 every day. Creating scripts is an advanced Office feature that requires programming knowledge. If you are a developer, you can create and edit scripts directly on your Web pages in Microsoft Access. Usually scripts are run by a Web browser when a Web page is opened or in Web page Page view, typically to display information produced by the script.
Be careful when copying and moving scripts. Although some scripts are self-contained and work correctly in any location on any Web page, other scripts are dependent on the structure of the Web page. When copied or moved to another Web page — or to another location on a Web page — these scripts might not run correctly or might return errors when viewed in a browser or Page view.
