VBScript Usage
The HTML <script>
tag is used to insert VBScript into HTML.
VBScript in HTML
To insert VBScript into HTML, the script must be written between standard <script>
and </script>
tags.
Within the <script>
tag, use the type attribute to define the script language as "text/vbscript": <script type="text/vbscript">
...
</script>
IE will interpret and execute the VBScript code between the <script>
and </script>
tags.
| | VBScript should not be used as a client-side scripting language! <br>Here, we use VBScript, which is only for IE, for learning purposes. | | --- | --- |
VBScript Output
When VBScript is used in ASP pages on a web server, the statement response.write() produces output.
When we use Internet Explorer to test VBScript, we use document.write() to produce output:
Example (Internet Explorer only)
<script type="text/vbscript">
document.write("Hello World!")
</script>
In the above example, the browser outputs "Hello World!" to the HTML page.
