Calling VBScript from JavaScript or vice versa?

Question

Is it possible to call a VBScript function from a JavaScript call, or alternately call JavaScript from a VBScript call?

Answer 1

Yes, if your main script is a Windows Script File (WSF).

WSF files can include other script files and execute code from multiple engines.

Answer 2

This is also possible within HTA's by specifying the language when the function is called, like this:

<input id="renameIcon" name="renameIcon" type="image" src="images/rename.ico" onclick=renameUser() onmouseover='vbscript: if showStat <> "busy" Then call showStatus(button4.title)' onmouseout='vbscript: if showStat <> "busy" Then call showStatus("")'>
