Client Side Objects

[Mandy]

I am battling to create certain client side objects within my browser (IE5) eg:
this works:
<script languange="VBScript">
set test = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
</script>

whereas this doesn't:
<script languange="VBScript">
set test = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
</script>

Included in the list of objects that don't work is Windows Scripting Components I have created myself.

Does anyone have any ideas or workarounds?

well, if they're you're own objects, then it could always be faulty coding.

Acutally, you should also consider that you're using a specific language which generally isn't cross-browser compatible. Are you sure that your target audience uses Internet Explorer, no exceptions? Otherwise, many things that are VBScript or Windows Scripts will not work.

Just a helpful hint. As for the coding problem, I don't have many ideas on how to solve it. Sorry.

Hope this helped, however little.

I may be wrong but i thought you couldn't use file system objects on the client side as a security thing, wouldn't want people messing with files on our comps through web pages.

Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") is valid on the server side tho methinks... not done ASP / VBScript for some time now.

You can't affect the local file system (client machines) in javascript.
