>People here talk about "(not) rendering HTML on the server" I think I make that mistake fairly often. We don't actually mean rendering when we say that, sorry for the confusion. We actually mean the generation of html from whatever data we're displaying. So a server side template engine sends already generated html to the client, a client side template engine just gets the data from the server, and then generates the html using javascript.
