Send Feedback

The JScript functionality for Microsoft® Windows® CE provides a run-time engine for parsing and translating Microsoft JScript® code on Web pages and in other host applications. Hosting for JScript is provided by Pocket Internet Explorer or by the Browser Control Host (SHDOCVW) in Internet Explorer 6 for Windows CE.

JScript is a general-purpose, object-based scripting language that is based on the ECMA 262 language specification (ECMAScript Edition 3). With a few exceptions, to maintain backwards compatibility, JScript is a full implementation of the ECMA standard. Effective with Windows CE .NET 4.2, the JScript functionality includes optional support for script authoring. Script authoring support allows programmers to access the DHTML Dynamic Properties.
