asp javascript vs vbscript?

[atifriaz]

Hi,
i wanted to know if it makes any difference if i use vbscript or javascript for my asp pages? and are asp pages coded in vbscript viewable by unix + linux users?

Thanks.

if it makes any difference if i use vbscript or javascript You have to specify javascript if that is the language for the scripts. You don't have to specify vbscript because that is the server default.
are asp pages coded in vbscript viewable by unix + linux usersSince ASP stands for Activer Server Page, it means that all of the action takes place on the server. It doesn't matter what client receives them, because when the client gets it, it is just hypertext.

vbscript is probably the better of the two just because it is more widely used and it is supported better.

If you're not in too far (and it sounds like you're not), use ASP.NET instead of ASP... it's a LOT better.
