Q : What are the major differences between Visual Basic and VBScript? A : They are different: You dont compile VB scripts like in Visual Basic. You just distribute them as plain text HTML files.The script engine interprets this text into intermediate code when it loads the Web page. It also creates a symbol table so that it can quickly look up things such as event-procedures and variable names. The scripting engine uses the ActiveX Scripting technology to interact with the browser.
IE supports VB scripts on your computer& we can create Web pages with VB scripts. For Visual Basic, you need a text editor,ActiveX,Control Pad and Web Browser.
Some other differences:
Debugging VBScript doesn't have a debugger like Visual Basic. You'll resort to using lots of message boxes, instead.
Event-handlers You don't have an editor in which you select an object and event to edit an event-procedure. You have to name event-procedures in your scripts so that the scripting engine can find the appropriate handler when an object fires an event.
Forms VBScript doesn't have a forms editor. It doesn't need one, because you can't display forms anyway. You put forms and controls on the Web page, instead. You can use the ActiveX Control pad to insert all those nasty
