Javascript & VBScript!

Is it possible to exchange data between Javascript and VBScript! In other words can they communicate!

I don't think so, unless you applied said data to a document element, and then read it with the other language.

I didn't think so either, but it just so happens that someone has asked me this question before and I experimented a little. I was surprised - but it does work:

Code:

<html>
<head>

<script type='text/javascript'>
window.onload = function() {
  entrance_onClick();
}
function js() {
  alert("js function called from vbs");
}
</script>

<script language="vbscript">
Sub entrance_onClick
  MsgBox ("vbs sub called from js")
  js()
End Sub
</script>

</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Of course, it only works in IE

The same goes for server-side JScript and VBScript in ASP.

However, just to pre-empt anyone asking, you cannot call server-side code from client-side code (or vice-versa) without using remote scripting - JSRS being the implementation that I'd recommend.
