VBScript in a Nutshell focuses on the complete VBScript language, and illustrates the data types, variables, constants, arrays, statements, and functions that form the core components of the language. The book sets forth a detailed discussion of how to call scripts and explains the similarities and differences between VBScript and Visual Basic and how VBScript differs from JavaScript. The greater part of this book is an alphabetical VBScript language reference to all VBScript keywords. It documents both the obvious and the not-so-obvious, including numerous "gotchas" and anomalies that cause programmers so much lost time and needless frustration. Other chapters cover the MSIE, Active Server and Outlook object models, which allow VBScript to "control" its host application. Appendixes include listings of VBScript keywords by category, as well as the properties, methods, and events of standard ActiveX and intrinsic HTML controls. Whether you're using VBScript to create client-side or server-side scripts for a web environment, VBScript in a Nutshell is the only book you'll need by your side--a complete and easy-to-use language reference.
