This is all client-side script. You should try asking in a client-side
scripting group, not a server-side one like this one. Why vbscript? I
strongly suggest you do this in Javascript and then inquire in a Javascript
group. microsoft.public.scripting.jscript is a group on this NNTP server.

Ray is correct,

The best way to do that sort of scripting is done through jscripting.
Good Luck
