Does anyone have a guide to creating forward and back buttons in an HTA that definetely works and an example of the implimentation?? I have been struggling to get any of the tutorials I found through Google to work. As a small aside - I haven't set a doctype - will this make a blind bit of difference? Do you even set a doctype for an HTA?

Not purely a javascript problem, but I am trying to replicate the following function in Visual Basic:

code:

function Encrypt(sClear)
{
   var sPasswordValue = "";
   var sMagic = "The Magic String XOR";
   var c;
   for (var iClear =0; iClear < sClear.length; iClear++)
   {
      c = (CharCode(sClear.charAt(iClear)) ^ CharCode(sMagic.charAt(iClear))).toString(16);
      if (c.length == 1)
      {
	      sPasswordValue = sPasswordValue + "0";
      }
      sPasswordValue = sPasswordValue + c;
   }
   return sPasswordValue;
}

function CharCode(obj)
{
   var codes = new Array
   (
      "%00", "%01", "%02", "%03", "%04", "%05", "%06", "%07",

   );
   for( var iLookup = 0; iLookup < codes.length; iLookup++ )
   {
      if( obj == unescape( codes[iLookup] ) )
      {
         return iLookup;
      }
   }
   return 255;
}

Is there an equivalent function to unescape or tostring(16) in VB? And does the ^ symbol mean to the power of, or does it have another use? Apologies for not having a clue.

Thanks for your reply. It's VB6. The reason I have to try and replicate that crappy code is because it is part of a login page on a 3rd party which I want to post data to. I'm scraping information out of the site once logged in, but I need to encode the password in their lovely way before posting it to the login page. I was distraught when I saw the process behind it. This is a major company with massive clients too, but yeah this is how they encrypt poo poo.
