I'm not shure that vbscript is available for all browsers and OS. So I think if you have to use a client-site-script-language in your web-app, forget about vbscript.

VBScript is only available in Internet Explorer.

Let's all go to the Wiki!

yes ...

since vbscript is only available for IE you may use it for a strict IE-environment, a companys intranet may be an example for that ... with the slightly different jscript (ms implementation of ecma-script and similar to javascript) you may use microsofts activeX-technology too ... but: that leads to IE-specific apps again ;) ... so: you cannot really compare those languages ... but in case you don't need to work with activeX or any MS-specific stuff ... you should use javascript of course ...

kind regards ...

Hello, My ASP code creates an ADO recordset object on the server. Later on the same page, I have a javascript code snippet that I use to dynamically populate a drop-down box based on choices made in another drop-down box. Can this javascript (or a server-side equivalent) access the recordset object? --Eric

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...

I have been developing web applications with ASP & Javascript for a long time. I have been using Visual Studio 2003.NET. While VS2003 is okay for intellisense of ASP & Javascript, it's still not that great. One of the cons of ASP & Javascript is that they're both interpreted, which means one has twice the amount of work to do interms of syntax checking & semantic/runtime checking. Another bad thing is that ASP & Javascript doesn't have...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
