Description

This is a simple HTML page that demonstrates the use of Microsoft® Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) to control a Java applet. If you look at the HTML source for this page, you will find the VBScript code between the <script> and </script> tags. These VBScript functions respond to the user clicking the HTML buttons on this page.

Notes about the VBScript

document.TextDisplay refers to the applet. If you change the id attribute in the <applet> tag to JavaApplet, you will have to modify the reference to the applet to document.JavaApplet.

The name attribute in the <input> tag gives a way to refer to the buttons and the text area in VBScript.

The VBScript code calls two methods exposed by the applet: setText and resetText. These are public methods of the applet. They are declared at the bottom of the Java source code file.
