Very basic web question: Do servers actually run the xml and html stuff?

    HTML and XML files are processed by your browser and has got nothing to do with the server other than receiving requests from the IP you have and then serving your browser with what the browser wanted for. For example when you open a file lying in some server in America, then the server captures the IP address and the User Agent of yours. Then server the browser in your computer with the HTML or XML file. But its execution does not take place in the server. It happens in the browser. But there are some other web programming languages that get executed on the server side which offers some security and provides with an option of creating portals and all. I hope that this helped you!

    Servers *serve* (send to you) HTML and XML. Your browser renders (runs) them.
