the server before it is transmitted to the client. Therefore, the client only receives an HTML

dgCalendar VBScript. In contrast, by using the client-side approach, you purposely transfer the work load
dgCharge to the browser in order to reduce the work load of the server. Unfortunately, older or non-
dgChart Microsoft browsers may not be able to correctly interpret and display the transmitted file. In
dgEncrypt addition to this, the source code is exposed to the browser user. On the brighter side, a client-

Quick References

HTML STATEMENT: Public

WSH The Public statement is used to declare a new public variable or array. You can declare more
