I have in the past developed HTML pages with Javascript. I have heard that "JScript .NET" is much faster/better. To create web pages with JS .NET do I have to use Visual Studio .NET? Do these web pages have to be compiled? If I create a web page with "JS .NET" on it, do my client users have to have the Microsoft .NET Framework installed on their machines for their browsers to use it correctly. Thank you to all who can provide a little bit more information. -- KW

JScript.NET is a language somewhat similar to but different from JavaScript, that can target .NET platform. It is most often used on the server side to develop ASP.NET pages. > To create web pages with JS .NET do I have to use Visual Studio .NET? > Do these web pages have to be compiled? > > If I create a web page with "JS .NET" on it, do my client users have > to have the Microsoft .NET Framework installed on their machines for > their browsers to use it correctly. Again, one cannot use JScript.NET to run client-side - at least not in the same way one uses JavaScript. -- With best wishes, Igor Tandetnik With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.

If you have developed classic ASP applications with J(ava)Script as the server side scripting language then you could move on to ASP.NET and use JScript.NET as the server side language in ASP.NET. If you use client-side JavaScript in HTML documents where the browser executes the script then JScript.NET is no replacement for that. > To create web pages with JS .NET do I have to use Visual Studio .NET? No. Indeed Visual Studio .NET has support for many .NET languages (C#, VB.NET, managed C++) but JScript.NET is not supported by that product. > Do these web pages have to be compiled? As explained, you can write server-side ASP.NET applications with JScript.NET, not client-side stuff. You can write them in a text editor and save them as .aspx files. When the file is then requested the first time from the web server the ASP.NET runtime compiles the file first, caches the result, and then executes that cached result each time the page is requested. Note that there is a scripting group dedicated to JScript.NET, microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.jscript. -- Martin Honnen --- MVP XML http://JavaScript.FAQTs.com/

No I haven't. Does one exist? -- With best wishes, Igor Tandetnik With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea.

Also, I can remember a man dubbed 0xdeadbeef mentioning one at RU.JAVASCRIPT@FIDONet echo, and I consider him to be a trustworthy source. (H) Serge
