what is difference between server side submitting and client side submitting a form

what is difference between server s开发者_C百科ide submitting and client side submitting a form. Can any one explain with an example.

Thank you

There's no such thing as server-side form posting. (unless of course you have server side code that creates web requests to a different web site and post data there and then reads responses, but based on your question I seriously doubt this is the case)

There are however two types of client-side form postings:

1. the old-fashioned way by having a FORM element with INPUT elements and a submit button (either an INPUT TYPE="submit" or a BUTTON TYPE="submit");

   <form method="post" action="some URL that will receive posted data">
       <input type="text" name="UserName" />
       ...
       <button type="submit>Save</button>
   </form>
   

2. the new often user-friendlier Ajax posting that doesn't require any particular elements at all; there probably will be for users to enter some data, but sometimes they don't exist at all; example uses jQuery to simplify Ajax posting;

   $.ajax({
       url: "some URL that will get posted data"
       data: { UserName: "JohnDoe" }
       type: "POST",
       success: function(data, status, xhr){
           // do what's required
       },
       error: function(xhr, status, err){
           // inform the user about an error
       }
   });
   

The first one has the nasty page loading/refresh/redraw side effect that makes it harder to keep scroll position etc.

The second one relies heavily on Javascript and manipulating DOM elements with results.

If I understand your query, I think you are asking about ways of submitting of a form from a client/browser. a) In plain HTML, you need to explicitly specify the Javascript function to do the form posting in the form element

<form id="form1" onsubmit="JavascriptFunction();" .....>

b) When using ASP.NET framework, you don't have to worry about form posting from the browser, as ASP.NET does this automatically for you. Instead the .aspx pages postback to themselves.
