JavaScript vs VBScript

Hi,
I am to implement a medium sized project using ASP on a Win32 platform. Can anyone help me make a choice between the use of JavaScript or VBScript for this purpose ?
Thanks in advance,
Anoop

I dont really understand. If you are using ASP then why do you need client scripting at all? In any case it probably doesnt matter much.

Hi,
I am not speaking about client side scripting, but of server side stuff. Should VB or JavaScript be used for this ?

The 'javascript' used in active server pages is actually called 'jscript' and is microsofts implementation of javascript on the server side. I use vbscript myself and then use real javascript client side. I didn't want to start confusing myself and use it both client and server side. Because, I'm sure, the syntax is different.
As far as functionality, I would think that micro$oft being who they are will ahve more functionality in vbscript because it is their own product. the other point is that most of the asp books out there concentrate on vbscript.
hope that helps

That's a matter of preference and your timeline. If you're more familiar with VB-style coding, then use that. If you're familiar with JScript (and/or have no time constraints) then I think it's a great idea to code JScript with ASP. Check out the following article to get started:

Hi!
When using server side javascript you can use the oop. With vb this sloves. Don't use oop with Vb that is.

For simple client side tasks (eg form validation) stick with JavaScript as Netscape only supports JavaScript of the two. For the deeper server side stuff its best to stick with VBScript as its the most popular choice so plenty of resources.
Good Luck

Thanks very much to everone for their helpful responses.

I found that it is not possible to pass variables by reference in JavaScript/JScript. I needed to make a call to a COM component and have it pass a value back to me by reference, so I ended up having to write that page in VBScript. All of my other server-side code is in JavaScript.
