Javascript or VBScript - WHICH ONE

This is a loaded question. You will get different opinions from different people. I know both languages so here is my opinion...
Javascript: I prefer this language and will use it whenever possible. It is far more accepted in client-side scripting than VBScript but its syntax is slightly more difficult and rigid.
VBScript: Easier to learn than Javascript but only usable in Microsoft browsers. Used to be less powerful than Javascript but is basically the same now.
ASP: Use either one. You can more easily find script examples in VBScript though.
Hopefully this will help you decide,
