this is way too hard for someone to use javascript i think you guys should re think javascript and atleast vb script or creat a dll for .net or sumthing

Actually JScript is easier for beginners than VB and .net.

dll's can still be used, u just call them from the script.

i've found JScript fairly easy only been using it since MsgPlus Live was released, i've found it easier then vb6

well vb is way easier

Well, if you've already have the programming concept, any kind of language should be easy to learn, don't you think?

Maybe language A is more powerful than language B, but language B might also have some features than language A doesn't have.

Well that's too bad. The scripting engine's language is not going to be changed to VBScript just because one person thinks it's easier and is too lazy to learn JScript.

Agreed with Segosa. If you want to use VB then refer to your .dlls through some Jscript or.. learn JScript.

JS is easier, but the syntax is different then VB and that's probebly what you think is confusing. The syntax is a little wierd yes, but it works just as well.

Each programming language has a strength and a weakness. They both co-enside with each other.

And once again the famous quote by Edgar W. Dijkstra is proven to be right:
"It is practically impossible to teach good programming to students that have had a prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration."

Just a small add, I had never used VB or whatever, only Pascal/Delphi and honestly the first time I heard of Jscript was with MP!L. So I had no experience with whatever languages you can find easier, and after starting to learn JScript about a month ago I'm quite confortable with it now.

The trick: use Google wisely ! And some previous basic knowladge of any language is good (that you have)
