Message Box is Netscape?

Straight from the asp.net tutorials...

This WORKS in Netscape - giving me a VB message box just fine.

But how? I thought VBscript only ran in IE?

Is this new .net stuff going to solve my x-browser problems?

Just a brief explanation would be great!

Thanks!

<html>

<script language="VB" runat="server">

Sub Page_Load(Sender As Object, E As EventArgs)
Message.Text = "You last accessed this page at: " & DateTime.Now
End Sub

</script>

<body>

<h3><font face="Verdana">Manipulating Server Controls</font></h3>

This sample demonstrates how to manipulate the &lt;asp:label&gt; server control within
the Page_Load event to output the current time.

<p>

<hr>

<asp:label id="Message" font-size="24" font-bold="true" runat=server/>

</body>

</html>

Strange...According to the code, all it should do is set the Text property of a Label with ID="Message". To me, it has nothing to do with a client side VBScript MessageBox. Are you sure you don't confuse the Label for a MessageBox?

I am sorry, i posted the code wrong.

In the sub I added a simple MSGBOX("HELLO")

and again, it works in IE.

Am I missing something?

That's very unusual. If I'm using the same code as you, it throws me this error: "It is invalid to show a modal dialog or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application."
As I know, MsgBox/MessageBox works with Windows Forms, not Web Forms.

I knew something was wacky...

I installed that Web Matrix thing from ASP.NET the site.

I am not exaggerating - it's throwing me a vb msgbox in netscape AND mozilla.

I thought my headaches were over as far as x-browser compatibility. Just from my computer, huh?
