SUMMARY
The "More Information" section of this article includes an example of how to use Visual Basic scripts with FrontPage Editor.

MORE INFORMATION
Visual Basic scripts are fast becoming a method of bringing Web pages to life interactively. This is because Visual Basic scripts are much easier to write than Java, CGI, or PERL scripts. Visual Basic scripts and Java scripts both rely on the browser to perform the interactive functions, unlike CGI/PERL scripts, which are platform dependent.

To create a sample page that includes a text box and three buttons, follow these steps:

1. Create a new page in an existing Web with the FrontPage Editor.

2. On the Insert menu, click Bot, and click WebBot HTML Markup.

3. In the WebBot HTML Markup box, type the following:

      4. Click OK to exit the WebBot HTML Markup dialog box.

NOTE: The form must be placed in the WebBot HTML Markup dialog box because the buttons have extended functionality. 5. Save the page to the Web and view it with a Web browser.
