I'm writing an application of my own that needs a scripting language. Can I use JScript as a scripting language for my application? If yes, What Objects, Methods, Properties, and Events can I use?

Yes. If you write it to support ActiveX Scripting, your application can host JScript and users of your application can use JScript. Because ActiveX Scripting is an open standard, your application can host any other language that is written to that standard. You must acknowledge the use of Microsoft technology and include the appropriate trademark and copyright information, but you can use and distribute JScript free of royalties.

There are three separate classes of objects available within JScript:

• Objects provided by the JScript engine
  
• Objects provided by Internet Explorer
  
• Objects provided by the web page author
  

The JScript engine provides the core run-time functionality, including a minimal set of basic objects. The vast majority of objects used in scripting are provided by Internet Explorer. In general, anything that is specific to the Internet is provided by IE, and anything that is generally useful is provided directly in JScript. The web author can insert additional objects through the <OBJECT> HTML tag.
