VBScript

A scripting language developed by Microsoft and released to the public in 1996 that gives Microsoft Internet Explorer enhanced capabilities beyond those available through HTML. Below is a basic example of a JavaScript that prints Hello World!.

<SCRIPT Language="VBScript">
<!--
Option Explicit
document.write("Hello World!")
-->
</SCRIPT>

Because VBScript is only supported in Internet Explorer many web developers use JavaScript instead, which is supported in all browsers.
