Would any one help me fix this i would like to make it work in firefox as well as ie, infact i would like it to work in all browsers

Well, as it is using VBscript and not javascript it isn't a simple task.

but can it be done and i am willing to pay for it to work

I don't think FireFox allow the execution of client-side script in VBScript. Your script works client-side.

You can refer to http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/faq for more details.

You can do that using Javascript.

Hm... I think it would involve AJAX. Depends how widely-available E4X is though.

You can pay FireFox all the money you like but, it still won't run client-side VBscript.

What does it do anyway? Does look like Ajax might be able to duplicate in javascript - Like Twey says. But, it would probably be easier to just write something from scratch that was cross browser to do what you want than to try to 'translate' the existing code.

If you can explain what it accomplishes we will probably be able to help.

ok the script works with a xml script that shows what is playing on our radio station. the script then gets the xml and founds the artist and song and places them where they need to be shown on the website

But the main question remains unanswered, why VBScript in the Client-side?

[blm126]

Does it refresh peirodically? And does what does the xml file look like?
