VB Script or Jscript - 1/17/2002 14:44:37   
If i'm trying to create an application for the web and i've already done most of the coding in vbscript would it be wise to do some of it in javascript? I'm trying to find out the compatability statistics for jscript and vbscript like what browsers support what and what servers support what and how many people would be able to use my app if it was made with jscript and vbscript instead of just vbscript alone. anyone?

If you're trying to do the work (processing) at the client, I would suggest using as much JavaScript as possible since VBScript only runs (AFAIK) on Windows OS clients and you'll alienate a significant portion of users.

If you're trying to do the work at the server, it depends on your server: usually VBScript for WinNT/2K hosts and Perl or PHP for 'nix (unix, linux, etc) hosts.

Server side solutions generally take the client out of the equation, however many applications use both, server-side and client-side processing.

So like many other questions, the answer is "Maybe..."
