Umm... That is VB code. If you are asking how to do the script in VB
code, then, although it is possible to run VB script in the IE
browser, you should probably consider using Javascript instead.
Remember, the code shown runs on the server and generates Javascript
code that is ultimately run immediately after the page loads on the
browser. Javascript is the best tool on the browser.
