These are some usefull links for VBscript programmer, which will help you a lot in learning WSH & VBscript or even developing real projects using VBscript, Jscript, Dictionary Object, File System Object (FSO), encoder etc. I personaly prefer CHM format since it is portable and by default able to run in basic windows installation, and ofcourse because it does not need to have internet connection to run it (well here internet is expensive).

ajax image viewer using jquery & ASP classic

What a busy days huh!, and damned there were a light faliure a day long *it’s so indonesia: worst service highest charge*, i want to create an ajax based image picker for myself, after googling i found a couple references:

• jquery based file tree with available connectors in PHP, ASP.NET, JSP, and LASSO but no Classic ASP
• ASP classic + javascript file selector yet another great stuffs from michal

Well i am a fans of Michal *honestly mate *, but since most of my app javascript core files used jquery then i decided to use the first reference *thanks to Cory S.N. LaViska* , the problem is this need to be done in ASP classic and there is no connector code available in classic asp yet, so i decided to write my own codes, and also need to changes a bit on Cory’s core file to add file extension restriction because i need to only list image file (jpeg, png, gif …) *dont ask me why i need to add this via client side, i just want to*.

This is which i think much simpler and safe rather than store it in regular date format.

PHP has load of date format options, we just need to specify the format we need, but in ASP especially ASP 3.0 (Classic ASP) which has only few format date available, we need to format it manually the beauty of classic asp programming, you need to create your own with limited built-in functionalities.
