I know I should spell it "JavaScript", but when I'm writing English my 
shift key often stucks - sorry. You don't have to remind me of that, but 
thanks.

I hope not, but isn't "interpreting code" a short form for "interpreting 
syntax, building a (implementation specific) native structure, and 
execute it when requested"?

No, you understood me right. A server has same structured data, for 
example in a database, which should be displayed on the client's screen. 
So either the server generates HTML markup, or it sends the data as some 
other type - e.g. json -, which could decrease the file size 
significantly. In the first case the script engine would use innerHTML, 
in the second it could either build the table with dom methods or 
serialize the data to a markup string and use innerHTML again. So which 
of the three ways is faster?
