Hello experts,<br />
<br />
This is not for a specifice question, but rather an invitation for discussion:<br />
<br />
The general topic is: scripting in SVG. <br />
<br />
I've read few scripting examples with SVG, and what I've seen is look like they are all client-side script to be interepreted by the client browser (or more accurately the SVG viewer plug-in).<br />
<br />
so my question 1) are there instances when server side script is useful or really needed or the only choice for scripting SVG (examples, discussions, especially working examples are greatly appreciated). <br />
<br />
I'll try to split the points among relevant answers, with more weight to responses with &quot;interesting discussions&quot;, concrete examples...<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

server side script and client side script for SVG????

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.

Websites use graphics to enhance information, assist navigation, and generally improve the user’s experience. To create those graphics, developers use any number of programs, like the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and Flash have their own topics), the CorelDraw suite, Xara, Gimp, ACDSee, Serif, ULead and others.
