It depends what you would call better =). The only con is that you must be using Explorer to see the code execute, which may be annoying for Netscape users that rely on JavaScript. On the other hand, VBScript operates in much the same way as JavaScript as they are both interpretted by the browser. In addition, VBScript can accomplish the same tasks as JavaScript, plus, VBScript (and JScript) may also be applied to Microsoft web technologies like ASP.
