I'm not a web guy so it is entirely possible that I'm wrong, but I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say no.

That's why the majority of the world is not a fan of IE and very little of the world uses client side vbs in their pages.

Hello,

Is there a simple way of changing my code to work with IE8 and such without having a complete rewrite?

Many Thanks

James

If you write in a standards compliant way to start out with, you wouldn't get into issues like this in the first place:

Of course using JavaScript instead of VBScript would be another smart move for future compatibility in web pages. VBScript is dead, it just hasn't been buried.
