vbscript/html code for button

shavon · Dec 2, 2016

Good day:

I created the following code for my Grade 4 computer students:
I am using Chrome. I simply wrote the code in a text file and changed the filename to "filename.html"

Why doesn't it work please? Thank you.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="vbscript">

Sub cmdButton1_OnClick
msgbox("hello world")
End Sub

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="blue">
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="cmdButton1" VALUE="Run Code">
</BODY>
</HTML>

The only client browser that vbscript works in is Internet Explorer

You could convert it to javascript - then in will work on all other browsers including IE.

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="vbscript">

function cmdButton1_OnClick()
{
    alert("hello world")
}

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="blue">
<INPUT TYPE="button" NAME="cmdButton1" VALUE="Run Code">
</BODY>
</HTML>
