JScript and DLLs/Server Side Objects

[icicle]

A quick question...apologies if this isn't really the right group for this,
it's not always obvious from the ng listings which one to start with...

I'm developing a web site using a 3rd party server side DLL (COM object? not
100% sure of the terminology here). I've developed a prototype in VB and now
that I have my business rules clear and I'm familiar with the interface,
I've started to translate this into ASP. However, I'm developing the site in
JScript and the object appears to present a broken interface to me...there
are, for example, no "Count" or even "Length" values on some of the
collection properties, I'm finding that I have to use a try{}catch(){} block
to test for the existence of any items on these collections....this is,
obviously, not ideal.

Just as an experiment, I decided to rewrite one page in VBScript and see
what happened....lo and behold, the interface presented to VBScript appears
to be complete.

Is this an issue between JScript and VBScript, or is it possible that my 3rd
Party object has a broken implementation of its interface?

cheers,

D'oh! Working over the weekend has obviously addled my brain. "Count" is not
a property, it's a *method*, and as such, in JScript it needs to be
"Count()".
