and i bought the wileys vbscript a thick book,now it has been a very difficult to understand that book because all the examples provided in the Wileys vbscript Book are designed so that they can run using WSH..But i learned to put the vbscript code directly in html and run through browser ,the problem is that this book is not concerned with the beginner.

One of the major problems that I have with "VBScript Third Edition", and with all Y2K Computer Language Reference Books like "VBScript Third Edition" is...
...Amongst the Computer Programmer Community, at least according to the Book Publishing Companies, there is no consistent terminology concerning Blocks Of Code.
EXAMPLE: "
Learning BASIC For Tandy Computers" uses the term "Routine" for the Programming Sequences within the Main Section of the Code.; while, "
VBScript Third Edition" uses the term "Sequences".
EXAMPLE: "
Learning BASIC For Tandy Computers" uses the term "Subroutine" for Blocks Of Code like "For...Next" Loops and "Do...While" Loops; while, "
VBScript Third Edition" uses the terms "Function" and "Subsquences" depending upon whether, or not, the Block Of Code produces New Variable Values.
EXAMPLE: Both "
Learning BASIC For Tandy Computers" and "
VBScript Third Edition" use the term "Function" for Core Command Words like "PRINT" and "MsgBox" and "INPUT" and "InputBox" and "SUB".
NOTE: GW-BASIC and Visual BASIC Script have very few common Command Words.
This issue has nothing to do with the actual Code Writing; but, it is essential for Communication about Code Writing between Computer Programmers; and Book Authors and Book Readers on the subject of Computer Language Code Writing.
This issue may be more relevant to the Book Publishing Companies than to the actual Computer Programmers; because, I have encountered similar Terminology Issues concerning an Educational Book relating to Aircraft Design.
The book in question is "
Introduction To Aircraft Performance, Selection, & Design" by Francis J. Hale (c)1984 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
While Francis J Hale was using terminology like "Fuselage Center Of Gravity" for describing an equation, and/or Aerodynamic Theory, the Book Publishers used phrases like "Center Of Gravity for the Fuselage".
This made understanding what Francis J Hale was writing very complicated; even though, the concepts that Francis J Hale was communicating was the simplest possible; or, the concepts was complicated because of factors like Fuselage cg affects, and is affected by, Wing cg.
My father is a Certified Hydraulic Engineer with a Bachelors Of Science Degree in Hydraulics. Thus, I am familiar with Professional Engineering Terminology; which, the John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Book Editors obviously weren't.
This raises another question that I have been having since I have been revisiting this Topic Thread...
?How old are you?
A High School Teenager, or a younger person, may easily get confused by the Grammar used within "VBScript"; that is, assuming that you are an American-Born USA Civilian; and not, a Non-American Visitor, or an American-Born Foreigner, who speaks English as one's "Second" Language.
In the case that American English is your "Second" Language; then, all I can say is practice Reading & Writing & Speaking American English to gain better mastery of the American English Language.
NOTE: My American English Writing Grammar (especially concerning Capitalization) is a deviation from Established Proper USA Capitalization System.
NOTE: My own Thought Processes tend towards the Compound-Complex Sentence Structure; which, confuses most American-Born Civilians (like myself) who speak American English as their "Native" ("First") Language.
