Post #25,885 by tonytib 1/26/02 2:59:14 PM Reply	I'd agree with your solution but I can't help you with the case against Citrix/VB.NET Do you have to deal with these people? Using VBScript for client side scripting? To put it nicely, I'm not impressed with their decision making. Oh, well, at least from a language perspective, JavaScript (or JScript if they're true MS wienies) should be able to do anything VBScript can do -- and a whole lot more. Tony
Post #25,888 by nking 1/26/02 3:11:26 PM Reply	MS oriented IT people I used to work with that type. Totally against anything that was not Microsoft. If you wanted to do Java, they would refuse to support you. If you wanted Javascript or JScript, you'd better give them a good reason why VBScrpt couldn't do the same things. In some cases we had to use Javascript/JScript because the DHTML in VBScript was lacking. They are so strict that they even disallow Visual C++ and Visual J++ because it is not Visual BASIC, and nobody else in the firm would be able to support it if you are gone (got fired, downsized, you quit, etc.) Those types are almost as bad as the PHBs that push for an MS-Only solution. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."
Post #25,892 by admin 1/26/02 4:20:26 PM Reply	I was wrong about the vbscript It's all javascript, just IE-specific. Their case is looking weaker by the moment. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
