Hi Chandra,

Client script will execute first and then after BR will execute.

Does this also apply to onSubmit Client scripts and g_scratchpad (which uses a display business rule?)

Hi Chandra, definitively the Client Script on submit

The client scripts are running on your browser while the business rules are running on the servers.

Meaning, when the client script is executed, it doesn't even know (or care) if a business rule onBefore or onAfter will be executed later

For the server side, this Execution order of scripts and engines   is useful.

When it make sense (meaning when someone is actually clicking on the records), the client side scripts would be executed after the "queries and the display business rules" but before the any step on this list.

Client-based code that executes in the browser, using Ajax or running as Javascript, always executes before the form submission to the server
