Answer 1

A script is a program that runs "on the fly" as opposed to a compiled program which is first converted, by (as you might guess) a program called a "compiler" directly into what is called "machine language". This is to say, the computer must take a script on the fly and translate each and every human word and work on it one by one, translating it, then acting, then going and fetching the next word, then translating, then acting (which is a very small to you but large to the computer delay). Whereas, a compiled program is *already* translated.

A form has to be handled by a program, whether it is a script or a compiled language. If the form is to be processed on the web page viewer's computer (that is, the "client side") where it doesn't need to manipulate or store a file, then a script may be okay. But keep in mind that some web page viewers may have scripts disabled.

If however the form must be handled on the computer that sent the form (your host, the "server", which can store a file, like a password or a list of prices) then you can use either a script or a compiled program.

My personal opinion is that you'll have the best results learning a language from a book. To find a learning resource. type "learn x" where "x" is the name of a language in the search bar of, say, google or yahoo.

Answer 2

There are many forms of scripting. It is basically "talking to the computer." Haha.

For example, when I create a layout for my website, I script it or code it. When I create a program, I script it or code it to make it work.When I create a software or game, I script how it works.

There are many "languages" out there. HTML, PHP, CSS, Visual Basic, C++, ASP, etc.

If you want to create a form, just use those free form makers online. No html knowledge needed.
