  1. Visual Basic Scripting By Zahra N. Taha

  2. Overview • What is VBScripting? • What are Disadvantages/Advantages? • How can we use VBScripting? • JavaScript vs. Visual Basic Scripting!!!

  3. What is VBScripting • Visual Basic Scripting is a subset of Microsoft’s Visual Basic programming language. • VBScript processes code that is directly embedded into HTML. • Should not be used as standalone, but instead to enhance your HTML file.

  4. What is VBScript (cont.…) • VBScript is to Internet Explorer as JavaScript is to Netscape. • It’s a great alternative to JavaScript • And I find it easier to learn.

  5. What are the Disadvantages? • Only supported by Internet Explorer • You’ll notice if you opened up http://aurora.wells.edu/~ztaha/MESSEGE.htm in Netscape nothing would happen. • It cant act alone. It needs to be in HTML to enhance the page.

  6. What are the Advantages? • I REPEAT, ITS EASY!!!! • I understood VB Script better than I did JavaScript and they have the same capabilities. • Depending on your preference for browsers. VB Script works with IE and you don’t get the funny “run time errors.”

  7. How Can We Use VBScript • We can use VB Scripting as an easier way to enhance our web pages. • It has the capability of JavaScript but in Internet Explorer. • I will show this through an online component.

  8. Online Component • Message Boxes: • Different Titles on the Box’s interface. • Different Interface Icons. • For Example: • http://aurora.wells.edu/~ztaha/VBSCRIPT.htm

  11. Online Component • Factorials: • JavaScript vs. VB Script • http://aurora.wells.edu/~ztaha/VBSCRIPT.htm • Finish Factorials 1-4 and 6-8…what do you think? Which would you rather work with? JavaScript or VBScript...

  12. In Conclusion... • Remember there is an alternate means of communicating what we’ve done in JavaScript = VB Script. • They have the same capabilities and depending on your style as a web developer, you may or may not like it.
