Question

Answer 1

+1 A:

It is possible, but you will need to prefix all your script calls in HTML with the appropriate language.

onmouseover="javascript: vbfunction();"

If there are script calls that are not prefixed, you may get errors on the page as the parser doesn't know what scripting language is being used.

Internet Explorer defaults to the language of the first script element it parses. So if the first script element is javascript, you shouldn't need to specify "javascript:" in your event handler.

Tried onclick="javascript: btnGet_Click();"(btnGet_Click is the name of the vb sub) and I still get the error that the object does not support this property or method.

You need to add it to all of your handlers. As the previous commenter noted, IE defaults to the first language, so if you specify it for all handlers, there are no ambiguities.

Javascript is my first script element in the page, so per that comment, I should be able to remove the javascript: tag from the handler, since it should default to the language of the first script element (javascript, in my case). When I remove the javascript: tag from the handler, it still returns the "object does not support the property or method" error. Google can't fix my stupid. :(

Found the problem. My button ID was the same as the sub I was trying to call.

Answer 2

A:

Make sure that the name of the sub you're calling doesn't match the ID of any other object in the script.
