Scripting - Session.Input issue with jscript

[pal.kovacs]

It seems Session.Input does not work when called from jscript. I did not see a post about that yet, so here is a workaround if you need some user input in your script.


You can invoke the 'InputBox' vbscript method like below:



function InputBox(varname,title) {
      var vb = new ActiveXObject('ScriptControl');
      vb.Language = 'VBScript';
      return vb.eval("InputBox(\"" + varname + "\", \"" + title + "\")");
}

Actually, the InputBox function was only added because some systems (UAC?) prevented that ActiveX object from being created in scripting.

Just be careful, your solution may backfire.

Thanks, I'll test it on my colleagues' config. The actual problem is that when I call Session.Input, the line is simply ignored when I run my script.
(I tried on Windows 7 64 with UAC turned off)
