The Microsoft® Internet Explorer scripting object model is a structure for embedding and controlling Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript) and JavaScript. The Internet Explorer model has been designed to provide compatibility with Netscape® Navigator® for existing pages, while easing the transition to VBScript.
The Internet Explorer object model is compatible with the object model used in the JavaScript language. This object model is accessible from any scripting language that is compatible with the ActiveX scripting framework, such as VBScript and JavaScript.
This document provides an overview of the object model, sample code (in VBScript and in JavaScript), and reference information. It also describes the methods, properties, and events used with the scripting engines in Internet Explorer.
See the table of contents for detailed information on the Microsoft scripting object model.
