a simple expand and collapse script done in visual basic does not function properly in FF, but works fine in IE. i am a web designer who prefers FF over IE, and i just discovered that SEVERAL websites i've designed for my clients using the script below, do not expand and collapse, or the feature is rendered useless. here's the script:

<script LANGUAGE="VBScript">
// Courtesy of SimplytheBest.net - http://simplythebest.net/scripts/
<!--
sub pop (id)
	if id.style.display = "" then
		id.style.display = "none"
	else 
		id.style.display = ""
	end if
end sub
sub MouseOver (id)
	
	id.style.fontweight = "normal"
	id.style.color= "#000000"
	
end sub
sub MouseOut (id)
	id.style.fontweight = "normal"
	id.style.color="black"
end sub
-->
</script>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://www.tsites.com/cgi-script/CSMailto/forms/tsiteswebvision.htm
2.click on the checkboxes that are supposed to expand more form fields, but don't
3.try clicking on those checkboxes in IE4+.

Actual Results:  
no expansion of html elements appeared

Expected Results:  
it should have expanded the hidden html

While there has been work done to support additional languages apart from JavaScript, I don't think there are any plans to support VBScript. This is really a dupe of bug 41274. 

You can do all of the things in this script in a cross-browser fashion using JavaScript.
