Popup Windows & VBScript - Possible? Jason Teagle11-Oct-01 0:07 Jason Teagle 11-Oct-01 0:07  Is it possible to open a popup window using ONLY VBScript? I _know_ it can be done with JavaScript, but can it be done with VBScript alone? NOTE: I don't mean a MsgBox, I mean a proper browser window. Sure, why not?

Re: Because It's Not VBScript Jon Gohr23-Oct-01 4:35 Jon Gohr 23-Oct-01 4:35  I'm currently working for a client that requested all server and client side code for their intranet site be done with vbscript. While that isn't really important to you, I can say that most examples you see of client side code are done in javascript but the syntax is usually almost identical in vbscript barring the language differences like variable declarations, curly braces and line terminators, if you play around a bit I'm sure you can get a pure vbscript window.open to work just fine. In fact, I'll make it really easy for you, took the javascript code from the dhtml reference in the message above, took off the line ending ";" and removed the parentheses because you get an error about calling a subroutine with parentheses. It's usually about that easy to translate javascript to vbscript because the object model is the same for dhtml you just have to eliminate the language differences. Sub button1_onclick window.open "layout.htm",null,"height=200,width=400,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no" End Sub Good Luck!

I originally thought you had misunderstood my intentions... especially when that article had the example in JS {:v) And knock me down with a feather, it works... I'm impressed. I'm just baffled as to why it is so hard to find information on it when I look {:v( So thankyou. Re: Because It's Not VBScript Jason Teagle23-Oct-01 4:59 Jason Teagle 23-Oct-01 4:59  Actually, I owe Andy an apology, since he was the original replyee and not yourself {:v) Oh, it's been a funny day. Re: Because It's Not VBScript Jon Gohr23-Oct-01 5:13 Jon Gohr 23-Oct-01 5:13  I agree with you, it's very hard to find any decent info in regards to using vbscript on the client side. It most definetly relates to cross-browser issues. When dealing with intranet's there is a legitimate argument to be made for using vbscript on both the client and server and not mixing languages when you're sure that everyone is using IE. Hopefully you can see that the translation is pretty easy. I haven't found any javascript yet that couldn't be reworked into vbscript with a little bit of effort. Good luck, Jon Re: Because It's Not VBScript Jason Teagle23-Oct-01 5:17 Jason Teagle 23-Oct-01 5:17  Thankyou, that's a very interesting discovery. I have to admit I don't intend to use VBScript client side because of the Netscape issue, but in this instance I wanted to use it to demonstrate a variety of Web programming 'languages', including both scripts, ActiveX, Java, DHTML (JS), etc. Re: Because It's Not VBScript AndyG23-Oct-01 6:14 AndyG 23-Oct-01 6:14  Have fun! &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspSub Yar &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspwindow.open "crap.htm" &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspEnd Sub Andy Gaskell, MCSD Re: Because It's Not VBScript Jason Teagle23-Oct-01 6:26 Jason Teagle 23-Oct-01 6:26  Thanks to Jon, I have now realised that this also works in VBS... that article being in JS threw me for a loop.

The problem is that when debugging asp in the server, only one person can be debugging at a time. What I'd like to know is if there's any way to know (using Visual C++) if somebody is debugging at the moment, because we're having problems when two persons try to debug at the same time. Thanks for the answer, Debugging on a remote server 10-Oct-01 6:30 10-Oct-01 6:30  It's the first time we're developing an internet application and I've got a question about debugging. Since only one person can be debugging the application at the server, I'd like to know if there's any way to ask through Visual C++ the server if he's debugging at the moment. Thanks for the answer, Registering a control on a remote system Jason Jystad9-Oct-01 6:55 Jason Jystad 9-Oct-01 6:55  Is there any way to register a control for use with ASP on a remote system? A client of mine has a hosted web site that I would like to use ASPTear on, but the ISP does not provide this control. I might be able to convince them to register it for me, but I would rather not fight that battle. This site is in a shared hosting environment on Win2k. I know how to register controls on my own servers with regsvr32.exe, but obviously I do not have terminal or console access to this server. Any ideas on a tricky way to get this done? With ASP maybe? Or some other way?

The reason that ISPs will not allow users on a shared box to install their own controls, is that the control can potentially create security holes, read and write information that belongs to the others who share the server, and crash the server. So, ISPs generally want to make sure that the control is a well-known product that will not cause any problems. This is where .NET changes the rules. Since .NET controls cannot crash the server (in theory) and the ISP can limit their access. These controls can simply be copied to the server (no registration required) and they will work. In conclusion... No can do for ASP... viva la .NET!!! Troy Re: Registering a control on a remote system Jason Jystad11-Oct-01 14:04 Jason Jystad 11-Oct-01 14:04  Yeah, that is what I figured. I admit, I was kinda hoping some smart-alec would post some less than entirely wholesome ways to try. I mean, if they leave me a security whole why not use it. Ah, well. I can probably figure out a truly screwy way to pull it off without the control. Thanks!

I am just beginning to learn JScript. I am wondering what are some important things that one language can do that the other can't. For one thing, I know that it is quite easy to open a new browser window (and set various properties of that window) with JScript but not VBScript. What are some of the things that one language does better, more easily, etc than the other? I appreciate your comments. Re: Pros and cons of JScript vs VBScript Ravish7-Oct-01 20:45 Ravish 7-Oct-01 20:45  Good exception handling in JScript.you can use try, catch blocks. In VB scripts you have only on error resume next statement. It is easier to use VBscript to access COM objects . When we use JScript special care has to be taken for handling datatypes .for ex arrays. Re: Pros and cons of JScript vs VBScript Andrew Quinn AUS15-Oct-01 6:47 Andrew Quinn AUS 15-Oct-01 6:47  Also w.r.t COM JScript does not support more than one IDispatch interface (you always get the default) whereas VBScript you can Re: Pros and cons of JScript vs VBScript Irokku Mata21-Oct-01 5:58 Irokku Mata 21-Oct-01 5:58  Ok, if i understood you well... you're wondering which language could be better, right? Then, from a newbie to other, get this on your mind: Don't get tied to only one of those! Use as many languages as you know, while they can co-exist. Don't forget to debug properly any work you do... It will take you away many sleeping hours, but in the end it will be worth! IE Browser to HTML source maping. sobh7-Oct-01 8:52 sobh 7-Oct-01 8:52  IE Browser to HTML source maping.

Why don't you explain what you want to accomplish instead. I may be able to find other ways to accomplish your task. Troy Stopping access to an images directory jerry0davis4-Oct-01 23:20 jerry0davis 4-Oct-01 23:20  Anyone know how I can stop browsing of my images directory. I know I can place an index.html in it to redirect somewhere else, but is there a way to redirect people if they type in direct image URL, rather than a html page requesting in. I just want to stop people viewing individual images, I'd just like to display the relevant html page that displays it. Thanks for any help Re: Stopping access to an images directory Troy Marchand10-Oct-01 6:14 Troy Marchand 10-Oct-01 6:14  If you can browse your images directory, that must mean you have directory browsing enabled!!! This is generally a bad thing!!! To disable directory browsing bring up your IIS manager, bring up the property sheets for your web site,go to the Home Directory tab then find the directory browing allowed check box .... uncheck. Once unchecked directory browsing is not allowed Troy
