Hi! VBScript (Visual Basic Script) is very simple to learn easy! Open Notepad and type a coding language. Try this one: x=msgbox("Hello there this is VBScript!",0,"VBScript") Take this and save it as WHATeveryYOUwant.vbs (you must have .vbs at the end!) The x symbolizes a value. It's unneeded now. The msgbox means what box it uses. The first " " is the message. the 0 is the message type. 0 says ok. (try changing it!) The second " " is the title at the top bar. Wanna make you own? take out the words PUTTEXTHERE with what you want. also change # with a random number 0-140 i think. Good luck: x=msgbox("PUTTEXTHERE",#,"PUTTEXTHERE") You can make multiple lines. That's basic VBScript!
VBSCRIPT FILES: (.vbs) No, VBScript is an 'interpreted' language; where the code is both read/interpreted and translated into machine code line by line; this is a rather 'slow' method of doing things, though, when compared with using a 'compiled' language, instead. A compiled language, on the other hand; runs code much faster; because it translates the whole entire program into machine code *before* running it. Compiled languages are used to create stand alone executable (.exe) files with. VBScript does NOT create stand alone executable (.exe) files; instead, VBScript creates (.vbs) files; which rely on having an interpreter program to work. ==== CONCLUSION As you can see from my short descriptions above...which are by no means fully exhaustive; VBScript, is a rich, powerful, and, extremely diverse form of programming technology; which in my own humble opinion, is very well worth learning; as it gives you lots of control covering many different areas; and, especially so, if you are interested in working with Microsoft Windows based technologies.
VBScript was created in 1996.
VBScript, like Javascript is an interactive scripting language that works within HTML. For more information on how to use VBScript, visit the W3 Schools website by clicking on the related link.

I would suggest you start with HTML and then move on to JavaScript VBScript would come after that. EX: <html><body><!--HTML HERE--> <!--JAVASCRIPT STARTS BELOW--> <script language="JavaScript"> //JAVASCRIPT HERE </script> <!--JAVASCRIPT ENDS HERE--> <!--VBSCRIPT STARTS BELOW--> <script language="VBScript"> 'VBSCRIPT HERE </script> </body></html>

VB, or Visual Basic, is a scripting language developed by Microsoft. Visual Basic can be used to program many things, although it does have limits. VB also requires a compiler. VBScript on the other hand, does not. VBScript was also introduced by Microsoft, and is a simplified version of Visual Basic. While VBScript has more limitations than VB, Windows already comes with all you need to make a simple VBScript program. To make a VBScript program, you simply need to open a text editor, such as Notepad, type in the code and save it with a file extension of .vbs. If you are willing to download/buy a compiler, Visual Basic will be much more useful. However, if you only want to create simple programs, stick with VBScript. There is still a lot you can do with it.

Yes. Just create a VBScript function/sub in the same document, and since it would be a member of the window object, Javascript would also be able to call it, like so: <script language='vbscript'> sub test() alert("test") end sub </script> <script language='javascript'> test(); </script>
