This review is from: VBScript & ActiveX Wizardry: Master the Art of Creating Interactive Web Pages with Visual Basic Script and ActiveX (Paperback)

This book is for beginner, even new-comer to the programming field. Although I have five years experience in VB programming, I still have fun in reading this book.

For example, it teaches you:

1. the defference in playing a .wav file in VBScript and HTML a. in VBScript-- document.write "<gbsound> src=sound1.wav"; b. in HTML-- a href="sound1.wav" Click this to hear something interesting. /a (this source code may not be displayed properly in this web browser, so a omit < and > here.)

2. the defference in the click event sub for a push buton for an AxtiveX command button and for an HTML form button. a. for ActiveX command button, name the sub Click; b. for HTML form button, name the sub OnClick;

--Funny? I skimed this book very fast and finished it just in one day, because it's very eary to read.
