Status: offline 		I've got a short piece of code from an html file that shows an issue while trying to run a simple Sleep or Echo command. Whats interesting is with Option explicit, I get a variable is undefined 'WScript'. Not using Option Explicit, I get a Object required 'WScript'. If I put the code in a .vbs file (minus the html tags), it runs fine. Any ideas? Thanks guys.


      




*Update, Tested two systems. Same issue. Both systems have XP SP1 and 2 installed.

Status: offline 		Those commands starting with WScript only work in 'standalone' scripts (.vbs or .wsf), you can't use them in webpages (HTML,ASP,HTA,...)
Example:
      becomes in a webpage

Status: offline 		How do invoke your script? Are you using cscript.exe or wscript.exe? Are you sure WSH is installed and you got the latest version?
Here is a small test script, which will show the WSH version, script version and will then pause for three seconds.
Copy-Paste it to an empty textfile and save it with a .vbs extension, then run it with either cscript.exe or wscript.exe (in your system32 folder)
      HTH

What do you mean by this? Are you calling a script from an HTML page? Post what code you have.

Status: offline 		Simple HTML file calling external script which gives me the same error as it did when the script was embedded (Object required 'WScript')in the HTML file. Executing the .vbs file directly with either CScript of WScript works as it should. What am I doing wrong.

I am using
WSH 5.6
VBScript 5.6
