'vbscript:' Pseudo-URL Addresses

This section describes what is a 'vbscript:' pseudo-URL address and provides several interesting examples of 'vbscript:' URLs.

IE Web browser also supports "vbscript:" pseudo-URL addresses in the form of:

vbscript:statement

When a "vbscript:" pseudo-URL is given to a browser, it will start to evaluate the VBScript statement included in the URL. Here are some examples of "vbscript:" pseudo-URL addresses that you can try:

1. The following URL will cause the browser to display a text message in small dialog box.

vbscript:alert("Hello World!")

2. The following URL will cause the browser to display a new page with a text message.

vbscript:document.write("<html><body>Hello World!</body></html>")

Now it's your turn to write more "vbscript:" URL examples.
