Every programmer involved with the Internet will be aware of Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript and XML), but they may not realize that the techniques involved are not limited to Javascript alone - the techniques can also be used, for example, with VBScript; and this raises an interesting possibility - the ability to use the Ajax technique to create a Windows Desktop application.
All that's needed for the Ajax technique to work with VBScript is:
- VBscript to be installed (but fortunately that comes as standard on every Windows pc)
- the XML HTML request object to be installed (again that's built into every Windows computer)
- a server script (on an web or network server)
- a VBScript that will send data to the server and then process the data returned by it
In this example:
- a PHP script on the server will take a company acronym as an input and return the current stock quote from Yahoo! Finance
- the VBScript code will call the PHP script on the server and then display the result
The first step, therefore, is to set up the PHP script on the server.
