» ali_baba - VBScript vs. JavaScript
Hi,First of all, welcome to Suite101. I am the contributing editor of JavaScript at Suite101. I have some basic knowledge of Active Server Pages and that's why I know VBScript.
I agree that learning VBScript is relatively easier. Its the easiest to learn if you know VB. Even if you don't know VB, learning VBScript will help you in learning VB, ASP, VBA and almost all Microsoft Programming Products.
But can VBScript compete with JavaScript? I think the answer to it is NO. You can use VBScript in your web page but that will not work on Netscape! And this means losing a large part of your audience. Isn't VBScript as a web page scripting language dead?
What are your comments about it?
