What is the difference between Javascript and VBScript and what are the compatibility issues (ie browser, server, etc).

Can you tell I'm a newbie?

What did we do before the internet?

They're two different scripting languages.
JavaScript is modleled after Java and C, while VBScript closely resembles MS Visual Basic in syntax.

They can pretty much accomplish the same tasks.

... but client-side VBScript will only work on Internet Explorer whereas JavaScript will basically work on I.E., Netscape, Opera...

Server-side VBScript is used for writing Active Server Pages and the browser has no effect on its compatibility.

Don't Active Server Pages have to be on a Windows server or am I just confused? (I'm usually confused, so it won't come as any big shock to my system.)

Active Server Pages can be run on Unix servers if the server has ChiliSoft ASP installed.
