As far as I know you can't INCLUDE jscript in vbscript or vice versa, but you might have some luck with Server.Execute

Yes you can - just use <script runat=server language="jscript">. Example ..

<&#37;
'Some VBScript code goes here
%>

<script runat=server language="jscript">
// Your JScript code goes here
</script>

<%
'More VBScript code
%>

That's cool.

Can you call functions written in JScript from the VBScript part?

[siteguru]

I believe so, yes. Obviously the JScript function part needs to have been created before VBScript can reference it.

Should be very easy to test this.

[jimfraser]

That's great, never knew you could do that

<&#37;
Function Test1()
	Test1 = "yes"
End Function
%>

<script runat="server" language="jscript">
function test2() {
	return Test1();
}

</script>

<%
Response.Write test2()
%>

great, cheers guys.

There are some things that JScript does better than VBScript (such as array handling), so having this option can really help.

[jimfraser]

array handling

Tell me about it lol.

Plus, it's so easy to transfer complex data from javascript to server using JSON - and I have yet to see a JSON parser written in vbscript.
