Problem with Vb script

**Learner** · Learner, September 17th, 2009 06:50 AM

Hi everyone,
I am new to the programming world and this forum as well. As it can be seen on developerbarn’s forum the advice are very helpful, I hope someone can help me out.

I am trying to learn vb script and asp which is the next step to create some web pages , so I have tried to code a simple comparison procedure which compares the number 12 with any number the user inserted from an input box. But I know it might sound like a silly question, but I don’t know what I am doing wrong, and can someone help me out please???

One more question please, if anybody knows any online resources which are very helpful to learn vb scripts and asp please do let me know.

Thanks a lot in advance

Code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Working With VBScript: Exercise 1</TITLE>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">

<!-- Add this to instruct non-IE browsers to skip over VBScript modules.
Option Explicit

Sub cmdCalculate_OnClick

   Dim Compare
       
   Compare = document.frmExercise2.txtQuantity.value 
   
' Perform Comparison.When the user insert a number the following procedure compare it and display a result.

  If  document.frmExercise2.txtQuantity.value  > 12 Then
  
  document.write("The value is greater than 12!")
  
  Else
  
  document.write("The value is equal to or  less than 12!")
  
  Endif
  
End Sub
-->

Welcome to DeveloperBarn

One thing I notice is your End If line. You have:

Code:

Endif

and it should be:

Code:

End If

Is there any particular reason you're not using JavaScript instead? client-side VBScript will only run in Internet Explorer.

Also, any particular reason you have chosen to learn programming with Classic ASP and VBScript when ASP.NET and VB.NET are clearly the intended direction from Microsoft? Classic ASP and VBScript are 'mature' technologies, meaning that MS isn't putting much, if any, effort in maintaining and expanding them.

You can download a free Web development environment (Visual Web Developer) from Mircosoft -- as well as a free version of SQL Server (SQL Express).
