VBScript | VBScript Classes | VBScript FAQ VBScriptVBScript -- Web ScriptingVBScript, whose full name is "Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition," is a subset of the Microsoft Visual Basic programming language. VBScript is a fast, portable, lightweight interpreter for use in World Wide Web browsers and other applications that use Microsoft ActiveX Controls, Automation servers, and Java applets. VBScript is a subset of the Visual Basic programming language. The result of the slimming down process is a very small language that is easy to use. There is also available Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for use with Microsoft Word, Excel, Access etc. JavaScript can do all that VBScript can do and far more. So why use VBScript instead of JavaScript? Because VBScript is much easier to learn than JavaScript. JavaScript is a language designed by Netscape Communications for programming Web pages. Thus VBScript and JavaScript are designed to do the same job. JavaScript has a much steeper learning curve than VBScript, since JavaScript uses syntax similar to the cryptic C programming language. There is one big drawback to using VBScript and that is that it isn't supported by non-Internet Explorer browsers. VBScript is part of Internet Explorer version 4 or later for the Windows platform. This means that millions of people have VBScript and don't even know it! Much of the power of VBScript comes from its ability to control the thousands of ActiveX controls that are available. It is a fairly straight forward exercise to create your own ActiveX controls using ActiveX Control Pad which is free from Microsoft. For the people who still use Notepad to write their HTML files, you really need to use Control Pad. For instance, you may call a text box a "text box" but to every machine in the world its name is really 8BD21D10-EC42-11CE-9E0D-00AA006002F3. The reason behind this great long number is that if the person displaying your web page speaks a different language, the persons computer displays everything in the other language. Don't be put off by the long CLASSID number, you don't have to remember it or even type it in, Control Pad does it all for you.
