I'm using IE9 beta with the test code below and i encounter an 80020102 error when vbscript tries to append to the array. If I run this in quirks mode it seems to work.

Not knowing if this is an MS issue or something improper I'm doing, I've submitted it to IE9s bug depot. Does anyone have a suggestion on a work around?

I'd post the full html, but it always looks malformed in the preview.

-- VBscript part ---    
Function getBlankArray() 
   getBlankArray = Array() 
End Function

Function appendArray(arr, val) 
   redim preserve arr(ubound(arr) + 1) 
   arr(ubound(arr)) = val 
   appendArray = arr 
End Function

-- javascript part --- 
function test()
{
    var contextKeysArray = getBlankArray();
        var jscontextKeysArray = new Array();
    for(var x=0; x < 10; x++)
    {

        jscontextKeysArray[x] = x;

    }

    for(i = 0; i < jscontextKeysArray.length; i++)
    {
            contextKeysArray = (appendArray(contextKeysArray, jscontextKeysArray[i]));
    }

}

• Have a read over stackoverflow./editing-help for formatting issues. – Matt Ball Commented Feb 10, 2011 at 17:26
• Why are you mixing JS and VBScript code ??? Stick to JS code is IMHO better. In JS, you can call the Array.push(val) method instead of this ugly VBScript appendArray(arr, val) function. – CedX Commented Dec 15, 2011 at 16:13
• 1 no error in IE8 in strict mode so indeed an IE9 matter i agree with Cédric, both languages have their merits but in arrays Javascript surely is better – peter Commented Jan 11, 2012 at 21:52

just try to add this line on top of page if you using html page.

<! DOCTYPE html >

Have you tried using patibility mode?

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8; IE=7; IE=5" >

I also agree with the ments that if you can get away from the vbscript and use a javascript-only solution you will be better off.

Here is your code cleaned up from VBScript:

function test() {
    var contextKeysArray = [], jscontextKeysArray = [];
    for (var x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
        jscontextKeysArray[x] = x;
    }

    for (var i = 0; i < jscontextKeysArray.length; i++) {
        contextKeysArray.push(jscontextKeysArray[i]);
    }
}
