I wrote JScript and VBScript for IE 5.X and 6.0 more than 20 years ago. We used ActiveX objects to do things on the client side of intranet applications for a law firm.I wrote a docket calendar that used the date picker control for example. We could only use IE not Netscape and nothing else. Which meant it was not a cross compilable with Linux, OS/2, MacOS etc and people who used those computers where SOL. I tried to talk about JavaScript and Java to make it cross over to the other systems, but I was told it was a Microsoft Shop and we only use MS technologies.
