Your PC. 

 

When you open a website with JavaScript, your browser opens the .JS file(s) and then you know, follow the instructions the file(s) give. Your browser does the work. With like PHP, what is server-sideded your browser gets the result from PHP running on the server. 

 

When you have a PHP and you want to activate it you have to have a server or a localhost thingy with like XAMMP.

Are Javascript scripts ran on your PC or the server?

Probably a dumb question and I suspect your own PC, since you download the .js file (your browser) and it runs it.

But just to be sure :)

Thanks. Was pretty sure on this, but just started Javascript development and wanted some confirmation

JavaScript is generally used as a client side language.  There are other languages that use server side processing for example Ruby on Rails is a server side as well as PHP.

Just to add to this, there are a large number of web servers using JavaScript as the server side language, some of the more popular being Node.js and ASP(Yes, you can use JS with ASP). But in the majority of cases still, JavaScript is solely client side although Node is becoming quite popular
