A file named test.txt on the web server has these three lines:

<script language="VBScript">
document.write "This should not appear as the only line in browser window."
</script>

and is accessed as http://mywebserver/test.txt. I want to see the complete code as plain text. But in IE the code is executed and I see "This should not ...". Is there a workaround short of changing to JavaScript or using a different browser? Thanks.

Use HTML and type:

<script language="VBScript">
document.write "This should not appear as the only line
in browser window." </script>

Thanks. I thought about that. After comparing several alternatives, I chose the one using the script's own filename extension and warn the user to save the file. It's actually a humble HTA script written in VBScript language (http://rootshell.be/~yong321/freeware/pstats.hta).

<script type="text/vbscript">
document.write "This text appears "
</script>

Thanks for the advice. But it still executes the script. Try this URL: http://rootshell.be/~yong321/freeware/pstats.txt
