There are too many important facets to the language of the World Wide Web to say that any one is the most important. That language is called HTML. In the years since its inception, the HTML specification has been fairly dynamic. So far, each feature added to the standard has made HTML better. Succeeding specifications make pages more attractive, more informative, and richer in content-so much so that Web pages are quickly becoming the interface of choice for retrieving information from computer screens.
This book is about a scripting language called VBScript. VBScript is used to control content and objects in HTML pages designed for the World Wide Web and corporate intranets. VBScript is not about creating applications; it's about creating active HTML. If your pages look and work like applications, that's fine. The most important thing that you're doing when you're using VBScript in your Web pages is bringing the pages to life. Dead, static pages on the Web are about as exciting as slides on television. In the future, pages will be designed on the fly, tailored to the profile of the individual user. | |
