Overview:VBScript is a high level client-side scripting language developed by Microsoft derived from its popular Visual Basic object-oriented programming language. VBScript incorporates much of the functionality of the Visual Basic language and can support very complex web-based DHTML applications. VBScript incorporates support for ActiveX web technology (see below).Currently, only the most recent Internet Explorer browsers support VBScript. Those who have no experience programming in Visual Basic will find learning VBScript difficult. For the present, and until there is wider support for VBScript among the other high-end browsers, use of VBScript will limit vierwership to those using Internet Explorer. ActiveX - ActiveX controls reside within the Microsoft Windows 98 and Windows NT operating systems. They are also incorporated within the most current versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. The object-oriented ActiveX controls provide much enhanced display and data handling capabilities. They can be used to enhance web applications through the Internet Explorer browser with the use of the VBScript language. They make use of the Dynamic HTML Object Model, a variant of the DOM (Document Object Model)interface specification developed by the W3C for use in XML. |
