Synook Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 VBScript is still useful for scripting within the Microsoft Windows operating system... but inside the browser? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synook Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 My work only have IE so I think VB is useful for me anyways.Perhaps, but in more general terms you would be much better spending the time to learn JavaScript. It will still work in IE, and everywhere else. Plus, it's much more advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skaterdav85 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I think VBscript is primarily used for using ASP. I heard JS can be used in ASP but it is a little harder. But in any case, ASP is deprecated so I dont see VBscript having much use anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaffiq_fiq88 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 VBScript is better. JScript also better. VBScript and JScript both Microsoft Technologies and for server side scripting.Javascript is a browser language. Too dangerous for security application but reliable to perform a graphic interface of website.Class can be made by using VBScript and JScript, not JavaScript. Class make your script much simple.I prefer VBScript. I am a website and application designer and developer. My clients majority are schools. Lots of client want to integrate their website with internal application. VBScript better run on windows and give more better synchronization with the website implemented in ASP or ASPX.
