That will always be a problem. Even in the Microsoft documentation you will
find only a few VBScript examples of client side, browser hosted script.
The reason is that only IE supports VBScript on the client. Cross browser
client script must be in J(ava)Script since that is what is supported on all
modern mainstream browsers.

You would be well served to learn JavaScript, even if your only purpose is
to be able to translate JavaScript examples into VBScript equivalents for IE
only clients.
