VbScript

Has VbScript become obsolete in Asp.Net 2.0? I can't seem to find any
documentation on using VbScript with Asp.Net 2.0. Does this mean that the
three years of knowledge I have using VbScript is no longer usable and that
I have to learn JavaScript/JScript? Converting and Asp 3.0 site, not only
do I have to learn Vb.Net I also have to learn a completly new scripting
language to handle all client side functionality.

You can still use VBScript for client side functionality, assuming all your
users have Internet Explorer. For server side code you'll likely find
yourself in fairly familiar territory by using VB.NET.

Why does onclientclick and attributes.add( "onclick", test) always add a
semicolon to my scripts. It's like asp.net doesn't like vbscript.

you'll need to learn VB.net in place of vbscript.

However, that is the least of your transition issues.
learning ASP.net 2.0 is a whole new world from Classic ASP 3.0

Aaah, no.

Vbscript is still supported on the client side by IE so it doesn't
really matter which version of .NET you are using.

Javascript is the preferred option as it'll work cross-browsers while
VBScript is IE only.

Client side script has nothing ot do with ASP.
ASP is all server side code.

If you have client side coding questions please try another forum here:

When I create new documents in Dreamweaver, there are several choices for ASP creation: ASP JavaScript: run at client side?? ASP VBScript: run at server side?? ASP.NET C# ASP.NET VB I don't understand the differences between ASP JavaScript and ASP VBScript?? Because JavaScript is client-side technology, and ASP is server side technology. I think VBScript is used to implement ASP pages.

Does anyone know if there are bugs in VBScript's GetRef()? I'm using VBScript Version 5.6.8515 on Win2003Server w/ASP. Sometimes it returns an object that VarType() says is a vbObject.

That subject packs a whallop, so let me explain in better detail what's happening and how it relates to ASPX pages... In a nutshell, if the first <script /on a page is of type "text/vbscript", you cannot use inline JavaScript statements that call setTimeout with functions that start with a double-underscore. This is very relavant to ASPX (ASP Dot Net) pages because it means that AutoPostBacks will fail since they generally call the...
