The main advantages using client side scripting over HTML is that in HTML you can only create static pages but with the addition of a client scripting language like javascript you can make dynamic pages... Changes the background at some point or controlling the screen size...<br />
<br />
In addition since you post in an ASP basically client scripting will come in handy in validation of user input... And there two linds of validation client side and server side...<br />
<br />
ADvantages...<br />

The major advantages is it is faster than server side... Since you are doing the process on the client side...<br />
<br />
Disadvantages..<br />

If the client side scripting is disabled it will not function.<br />

Advantages/Disadvantages of using client-side scripting over HTML

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.

Web Languages and Standards

Active Server Pages (ASP) is Microsoft’s first server-side engine for dynamic web pages. ASP’s support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables it to access and use compiled libraries such as DLLs. It has been superseded by ASP.NET, but will be supported by Internet Information Services (IIS) through at least 2022.
