About working with scripts

Although Microsoft FrontPage contains the Microsoft Script Editor (Microsoft Script Editor: Used to add text, edit HTML tags, and edit any Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) code in a data access page. You can also view your page in the Script Editor as it would appear in a Web browser.), you can use script editing tools that enable you to easily create and edit scripts directly in Code view.
Editing scripts
With IntelliSense, you can easily create or edit scripts in a number of languages, including ECMAScript as defined by the specification of the European Computer Manufacturers Association, such as JScript (JScript: An interpreted, object-based scripting language that borrows from C, C++, and Java. It is the Microsoft implementation of the ECMA 262 language specification.) or JavaScript (JavaScript: A scripting language that can be used to add functionality to a Web page or a Web site, or to enhance the look of one. JavaScript scripts can run on any type of client or server computer.), and Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) (Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript): An interpreted, object-based scripting language that is a subset of the Microsoft Visual Basic programming language.). You can quickly fill in valid variables, functions (function: An action or operation that is performed by a script. A function may return a value or other result.), or parameter information.
You can also display line numbers, which makes it easier to identify errors when you debug your scripts.
Formatting scripts
Script elements, such as script identifiers, keywords, numbers, operators, and strings are represented in different colors. You can either use the default colors or specify your own settings.
Script color coding will only occur within a properly closed block of script. If a script block is opened but not closed, then all text following the opened script block will use the normal color setting to help you quickly see that a closing tag is required.
Note FrontPage does not currently support server-side scripting, CGI (CGI: Common Gateway Interface. A standard method of extending Web server functionality by executing programs or scripts on a Web server in response to Web browser requests, such as in form processing. Use of CGI can make a Web page more dynamic.), ASP.NET, or Visual Basic .NET.
