'''Remote scripting''' is a technology which allows scripts and programs that are running inside a browser to exchange information with a server. The local scripts can invoke scripts on the remote side and process the returned information. <!-- SPAN!! and see earliest below... '''Remote Scripting''' was developed by Microsoft -->
The earliest form of asynchronous remote scripting was developed before XMLHttpRequest existed, and made use of very simple process: a static web page opens a dynamic web page (e.g. at other target frame) that is reloaded with new JavaScript content, generated remotely on the server side.
The XMLHttpRequest and similar "client-side script remote procedure call" functions, open the possibility of use and triggering web services from the web page interface. The web development community subsequently developed a range of techniques for remote scripting in order to enable consistent results across different browsers. Early examples include [http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/jsrs/test.htm JSRS] library from 2000, the introduction of the Image/Cookie technique in 2000.
==JavaScript Remote Scripting== '''JavaScript Remote Scripting''' ('''JSRS''') is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications using a combination of: *HTML (or XHTML) * The Document Object Model manipulated through JavaScript to dynamically display and interact with the information presented * A transport layer. Different technologies may be used, though using a script tag or an iframe is used the most because it has better browser support than XMLHttpRequest * A data format. XML with WDDX can be used as well as JSON or any other text format.

A similar approach is Ajax, though it depends on the XmlHttpRequest in newer web browsers.
