Short for Visual Basic Scripting Edition, a scripting language developed by Microsoft and supported by Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser. VBScript is based on the Visual Basic programming language, but is much simpler. In many ways, it is similar to JavaScript. Yet, Netscape web browsers do not interpret VBScript. Thus, the only environments VBScript will operate are intranets that only use Internet Explorer or web sites that declare the site as best viewed in Internet Explorer.

VBScript is both a Client-Side and a Server-Side Scripting language. However, the Client-Side application is limited to Internet Explorer Browsers.

A scripting language from Microsoft. VBScript is the default scripting language in ASP. Can also be used to program Internet Explorer.

A Microsoft proprietary language derived from Visual Basic. Like JavaScript, VBScript is intended for use as a browser-based, server-side and administrative language. Unlike JavaScript, support for VBScript in browsers is limited to Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

A version of Microsoft Visual Basic used as a scripting language in Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser and in Microsoft Internet Information Server.

VBScript is short for "Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition". VBScript is a small, standard language designed for simple programming tasks. VBScript is a subset of Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications, two of the most popular programming languages in the world. For more information on VBScript, refer to the chapter on VBScript Macros.

is a scripting language which can be used in HTML documents in a similar way to JavaScript, and also in the macros in most Microsoft packages.

A scripting language from Microsoft. Mostly used with ASP for programming web servers. Can also be used to program Internet Explorer. (See also ASP).

Microsoft-defined scripting language that has been adapted for use with Microsoft Web servers and browsers.

an Internet version of visual basic developed by Microsoft and largely only supported by Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser

VBScript Scripting Language A scripting language with a similar syntax to Visual Basic that may be used for creating client or server side applications for Microsoft web development platforms. more information

Popular Internet Programming language many ActiveX and viruses are written in.

A scripting language based on the popular Visual Basic syntax. It's main advantage is that organisations having skilled Visual Basic programmers can access all the power of scripting, without retraining their existing development staff.

VBScript is a Microsoft scripting (development language) technology that is based on Microsoft's highly successful Visual Basic language. VBScript can be used in the client, and on the server. See also JavaScript, JScript, and ECMAScript

Visual Basic Scripting Edition.   A subset of the Visual Basic programming language developed by Microsoft.   It enables Web authors to include interact controls, such as buttons and scrollbars, on web pages.   Only Microsoft's Internet Explorer accepts VBScript.

Visual Basic Script, a subset of Visual Basic. One of the Web programming languages understood by Microsoft Internet Explorer. You can use VBScript to manipulate ActiveX controls in a Web page.

Visual Basic Script. Scripting language developed by Microsoft.

Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition. Interpreted scripting language (subset of MS Visual Basic language) for creating scripts that can be embedded in HTML pages or for creating ActiveX Controls. Meant as an alternative to JavaScript.

A subset of the Microsoft Visual Basic programming system. Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0, along with other browsers, can read VBScript programs embedded in HTML pages. VBScript programs can be executed either on the browser machine or the World Wide Web server. In the FrontPage Editor you can insert and edit VBScripts.

A subset of Microsoft's Visual Basic, VBScript is a scripting language for adding interactive elements to Web pages; VBScript code is embedded in HTML documents. VBScript is similar to Netscape's JavaScript. For more information is available on Microsoft's Web site.

Visual Basic Scripting on Windows 2000 shared Web hosting servers.

A subset of the Visual Basic for Applications programming language optimized for Web-related programming. As with JavaScript, code for VBScript is embedded in HTML documents.

A proprietary Microsoft scripting language used to enable interactivity in web pages.

Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition brings active scripting to a wide variety of environments, including Web client scripting in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Web server scripting in Microsoft Internet Information Services. VBScript programs can be executed either client or server side. VBScript talks to host applications using Windows Script. Windows Script enables a host to compile scripts, obtain and call entry points, and manage the namespace available to the developer. Windows Script is used in Microsoft Internet Explorer and in Microsoft Internet Information Service.

Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) is a programming language developed by Microsoft for creating scripts (mini programs) that can be embedded in HTML Web pages for viewing with Internet Explorer. These scripts can make Web pages more interactive. VBScript also works with Microsoft ActiveX Controls, allowing Web site developers to create forms, interactive multimedia, games, and other Web-based programs. VBScript is similar in functionality to JavaScript and is a subset of the widely used Microsoft Visual Basic programming language.

Microsoft's counterpart to Netscape's JavaScript language, VBScript is based on the Visual Basic programming language, but is much simpler. It is supported by Internet Explorer and enables Web authors to include interactive controls such as buttons and scrollbars, on their Web pages.

A scripting language created by Microsoft as an answer to Netscape's JavaScript. VBScript which is based on the MS Visual Basic® is like Javascript embedded as a small program in a Web page that is interpreted and executed by the Web client. The Scriptor controls the time and nature of the execution and VBScript functions can be called from within a Web document, often executed by mouse functions, buttons, Active X controls, or other actions from the user. VBscript can be used to fully control compatible browsers, including all the familiar browser attributes.

(Misc.) A programming language developed by Microsoft for making pages interactive.

An interpreted programming language from Microsoft that offers limited programming capabilities on a Web page. VBScript is based on Visual Basic, and its source code is included as text on Web pages.

See Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition.

VBScript is an interpreted script language from Microsoft that is a subset of its Visual Basic programming language. VBScript is Microsoft's answer to Netscape's popular JavaScript. Both are designed to work with an interpreter that comes with a Web browser - that is, at the user or client end of the Web client/server session.

A scripting language, similar to but a subset of the Visual Basic language, especially suited to be embedded into HTML files because it must be interpreted by a Web browser. VBScript enables objects to be added to Web pages to accomplish such tasks as password authentication or surveys for data collection.

Visual Basic Scripting Edition, a simplified version of Microsoft's Visual Basic language, supported by the Internet Explorer browser. It enables Web designers to include interactive controls on their pages.

Visual Basic Script. A language that is embedded in Web pages and is executed by the Browser as it displays the page.

VBScript (short for Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an Active Scripting language interpreted via Microsoft's Windows Script Host. The language's syntax reflects its pedigree as a variation of Microsoft's Visual Basic programming language. It initially gained support from Windows administrators seeking an automation tool more powerful than the batch language first developed in the late 1970s.
