Nothing to do with Java. Do not confuse Java and Javascript - they have
nothing in common except some syntax.

Java is a general purpose programming language which can be used on its
own, or (in web context) either server-side or client-side.

Javascript is a scripting language, designed and (AFAIK) restricted to
client-side programming on web pages.

ASP and PHP (and for that matter Perl) are used server-side and the
client never sees the code, only the text (usually HTML) produced by the
code.
