5. Choosing bettween JavaScript and VBScript

JavaScript is loosely based on C++ and gained acceptance on the Internet. Both Netscape Navigator or Communicator and Internet Explorer support JavaScript.
VBScript is based on Microsoft's Visual Basic language. If you have experience and knowledge about Visual Basic, then you have advantages when using VBScript on Web pages. However, Internet Explorer is the only browser supports VBScript now.
When writing scripts for your HTML files, you can think of many criteria such as your script is supposed to run on many different browsers or such for a particular browser. In addition, is your script server-sided or browser-sided? This means that you have to decide to include your scripts in the HTML files or link your scripts to the HTML files.
