Vb script not working on Chrome or Firefox - only on Internet Explorer

Question

I wrote VBScript in my project, but this is only working on IE and not chrome/firefox. I need a VBScript library for my code. How will this code work on chrome and firefox. My code is

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
     Sub clickHandler()
         sP = Window.Event.SrcElement.ID
         If Left(sP, 1) = "M" Then
             Set oC = Document.All("C" & Mid(sP, 2))
             If oC.Style.Display = "none" Then
                 oC.Style.Display = ""
             Else
                 oC.Style.Display = "none"
             End If
             Set oC = Nothing
         End If
     End Sub
</SCRIPT>

Answer 1

Client-side VBScript code only works on IE.

Chrome and Firefox, being more standards compliant, expect Javascript client-side code

It looks like your click handler is hiding/displaying something. This is quite easily achievable in Javascript with JQuery, eg this should hide 'elementid' when it is clicked:

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#elementid').click(function(){
    $(this).hide();
  });
});
</script>

Javascript works in IE and there are plenty of webkit (Chrome) only extensions as well. Claiming "more standards compliant" seems a bit unnecessary. – Huffish

Answer 2

VBScript only works in Internet Explorer

Actually, at least for this tutorial: tutorialspoint.com/vbscript it doesn't even work in IE / Edge – Keever

Edge is now "Edgium" as it's powered by the Chromium engine with its own modifications. Any association with IE is pretty much dead and buried, apart from the emulated IE mode it supports. – Subcortex

Answer 3

There is a Google extention called "IE Tab" which when used, will allow the VBScript to work as if it were running under IE. It will also allow the "style" attribute to work correctly.

Answer 4

You won't be able to use the functions of Internet Explorer on any other browser, you can only navigate using .url files or this script:

set objApp=createobject("Shell.application")
objApp.Shellexecute"chrome.exe", "www.google.com","","",1

'Or if you want to use internet explorer 11, you can download and activate vbscript in it
