VBScript (also Visual Basic Script) is

a programming language developed by Microsoft for creating scripts that can be embedded in Web pages for viewing with the Internet Explorer browser. However, other browsers do not necessarily support VBScript.[1]

Overview[]

"Like JavaScript, VBScript is an interpreted language that can process client-side scripts. VBScript, which is a subset of the Microsoft Visual Basic programming language, works with Microsoft ActiveX controls. The language is similar to JavaScript and poses similar risks."[2]
