I'm trying to follow some example code from microsofts mdn site..
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var oExec = WshShell.Exec("calc");
while (oExec.Status == 0)
{
WScript.Sleep(100);
}
WScript.Echo(oExec.Status);
I'm currently writing a javascript/JScript to run a few batch commands. Everything works fine if I don't use WScript.Sleep(). However, If i try to use it, to prevent locking up the browser, i'm getting an error that WScript is not defined.
I figured that I needed to define it myself. However, I have been searching mdn website all day with no luck. This is my first time using any "windows only" products I could be coompletly overlooking something.
If you want to see the documentation I'm looking through it is located here.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Freddy
