Example Explained
To insert a VBScript into an HTML page, we use the <script> tag. Inside the <script> tag we
use the type attribute to define the scripting language.
So, the <script type="text/vbscript"> and </script> tells where the
VBScript starts and ends:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/vbscript">
...
</script>
</body>
</html> |
The document.write command is a standard VBScript command for writing output to a page.
By entering the document.write command between the <script> and </script> tags, the browser will recognize it as a
VBScript command and execute the code line. In this case the browser will write Hello World! to the page:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/vbscript">
document.write("Hello World!")
</script>
</body>
</html> |
How to Handle Simple Browsers
Browsers that do not support VBScript, will display VBScript as page content.
To prevent them from doing this, the HTML comment tag should be used to "hide" the VBScript.
Just add an HTML comment tag <!-- before the first VBScript statement, and a --> (end of comment) after the last
VBScript statement, like this:
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/vbscript">
<!--
document.write("Hello World!")
-->
</script>
</body>
</html> |
