Microsoft Agent HTML Samples


Microsoft Corporation

October 1998

These HTML pages demonstrate how to use Microsoft Agent from Visual Basic® Scripting Edition (VBScript) or JScript® on a Web page. You can browse a sample by clicking its link below. Each sample will attempt to install its required components if they are not already installed. These samples download their character animations from http://agent.microsoft.com/agent2/chars/, so you must be connected to the Internet. You need to be running Microsoft® Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT® 4.0(x86), and Internet Explorer 3.02 or later to download and run the samples.

For samples that you can download, install, and run locally, see Visual Basic, Visual C++, and Java Samples.
