HTA forum

I need an HTA forum cuz I'v somthin to say about HTA.
 
A separate HTA forum could useful because vbscript codes are sometimes different in HTA and also because talkiing HTA you forcibly talk HTLM and that's  in a vbs forum.

I second this suggestion.  There's not enough talk about HTAs!

I see where you are coming from. I have given it thought once before, and the conclusion was that in relation to VBScript, HTA discussion space is to be done in the main WSH & Client Side VBScript forum.
 
There is enough space to discuss the subject, in relation to VBScript.
 
Since we are a VisualBasicScript forum, we cannot fully specialize on the specific matter of HTA. Evenmore when, as you mentioned, you forcibly will talk about HTML alot.
 
So, you can open topics in the main forum about HTA's in regards to VBScript.
 
Hope this helps.

I have to agree with Snipah on this one.
 
It would be nice to have, but the main forum (WSH & Client Side VBScript) should be able to cover the VBS portion of HTA's.
 

And what about the HTA portion of VBS?
 
Oh, I see there are only 4293 posts in the VBScript forum (why is called WSH & Client Side VBScript by the way?)
so it's easy to find infos on specific uses of VBS.
 
 

i.e. If you are searching on how to generate output from VBScript and store it in a <table> you can Search the forum on those names: vbs table hta
 
The VBScript portion of HTA covers the same as the HTA portion of VBScript.........it's all in the name....

I don't agree because I'v come across some code that works in VBS file but will need a diffrerent translation in HTA.
 
I also think that tips about buttons and input boxes could be useful because it provide an interface with your VBscript.
But it's not strictely VBS, it's HTM code. And in HTA the boudaries between HTM and VBS are not clear: You have a bug and don't know if it's the HTM part of the code or in the script. Then it appears that you error is a pure HTM one.... how does it fit in a "WSH & Client" forum?! I mean in a "WSH" forum especialy?!
 
The samle can be said about PHP.
 
 
 
 
 

I think the point is that this is a VBScript forum not an HTML forum. So if you want to discuss the VBScript portion of an HTA, then the WSH is the engine being used to execute the code and it is appropriate to discuss it here. If you have an HTML problem in your HTA, then it strictly is not appropriate to discuss it in a VBScript forum. That is not to say that you shouldn't post the problem, you will probably get an answer regardless. It just means that the there is no need to create a seperate category simply because HTAs are essentially a hybrid of VBScript and HTML.  

If you want to call out that the post is about hta just put a HTA prefix in your subject

i.e.
Subject:     HTA: Some info here.

To which forum should I adress my request for a question about inserting a mini (vb)script in the button onclick property?

I'm sure it wouldn;t be too difficult to create and post a guide on .HTA vs .VBS in the Post a VBScript section.
 
As for your button question I thing the regular WSH section is fine.
 
<button onclick="MsgBox 'FooMaster Flex'"></button>
