Changing from ASP with JS to ASP with VB?

[I Need Help!]

Can you change from JS to VB script - or will it cause many problems? I have a few
tutorials that are made for VB but my asp pages are in JS.

Thanks

I just did that a week or so ago. It's no real problem, but it needs a
lot of attention to details:
Dim -> var
if then else endif -> if () {;} else {;}
Sub End Sub -> function {}
and so on. VB is not case-sensitive, which is good, JS is VERY
case-sensitive. So the reverse conversion is more tricky. Eg. I had the
end of file condition written "EoF" in VB. That's not valid in JS
Access to a DB is almost identical.
Arrays are declared differently and reffered to differently with []
instaed of ().

So, in short, a lot of footwork, but no big deal.

You can mix and match though. I.e. a whole page can be in JS, another
one in VB. I had the problem that I had a number of server-side includes
(SSIs) with generic functions and subroutines in VB, and all pages but
one in VB. And from the JS page, I wanted to use the SSIs, so I
converted the page.
