Hi everybody,
I have heard that there are some limitations of VBScript over JavaScript. Is that true ?

Hi everybody,

Well, Client side browser based VBScript severely inhibits your choice of web browsers...
...meaning that VBScript is Microflop only. Take my advise, Learn Javascript and don't look back.
To learn JavaScript, do I have to learn Java ?
No. Java is an entire language. Whereas javascript is a scripting language used for client side validations for your browser.
The only thing that Javascript and Java have in common are their names.
Ok.. maybe they also both use a C style syntax.. but that's about it..
Thanks to all !
To second Monte, yes, the only thing JavaScript and Java share are the name and the syntax. Java uses the C/C++ syntax. JavaScript (which was orginally to be called LiveScript before Java was released) uses the same syntax. Java is owned by Sun and controlled by a Java board chaired by Sun. JavaScript is owned by Netscape and seeks compliance with standards set up by the W3C and the ECMA.Quote:

I wanted to point out what Jonny said though. Don't think of JavaScript as a limitation just for validation. JavaScript is very powerful. You can do anything you want on your web page. You can even create an entire windowing desktop in a web browser if you had the time and energy.
Thanks !
Yup, I am aware of it. I just forgot to put the word usually used for client -side validations. Thanks anyways.:)
