VBS, or VBScript, short for "Visual Basic Scripting," was created by Microsoft as a scripting language intended for use with its products. Because VBS was made to work only with Microsoft products, VBS does not work in any browser other than Internet Explorer. For this reason, developers seeking cross-browser compatibility may convert VBS to JS, or "JavaScript," a much more widely used and compatible scripting language. This can be done using ScriptConverter, a free online tool.
