Definition: Scripting is just a more modern term for interpreting.

Many webservers use Scripted languages like PHP or VBScript. Most Web browsers have a scripting engine built in so they can execute JavaScript.

Some applications like the MS Office (Word, Excel etc) include scripting through visual basic type languages.
