Client-side Scripting



Class of computer programming on the web which is executed client-side, by the users web browser, instead of server-side (on the web server). This type of computer programming is an important part of the Dynamic HTML (DHTML) concept, enabling web pages to be scripted; that is, to have different and changing content depending on user input, environmental conditions (such as the time of day), or other variables. See also Server-side Scripting.


Components



Content elements or applications that are usually displayed in the center of the main content area of a template. This depends on the design of the template in use. Components are core elements of Joomla! functionality. These core elements include Banners, Contact, News Feeds, Polls and Web Links. Members of the Joomla! community produce third party Joomla! components on a continuous basis. They are freely available to download from http://joomlacode.org and a number of other web sites. See also Modules.

Core



Zip-file containing the official standard Joomla! installation. This may be downloaded from http://joomlacode.org and various other web sites. The Joomla! Core contains some built-in CMTs, but can be extended with third-party developer add-ons.

Thanks Gustavo,

There are indeed a lot of links to update due to the repository change. A search with "http://developer.joomla.org" at Help Site return a worthy number of results. There are also some mix up between "http://developer.joomla.org" and "http://dev.joomla.org".

Anyway, these days the 1.5 Glossary is under review. The rest of entries is a matter to consider.
