How do you enqueue a Visual Basic script using wp_enqueue_script?

Question

Internet Explorer will have errors with VB script files en-queued using wp_enqueue_script. This is probably because the output of enqueue script set the script type to 'language/javascript'. Are there any solutions besides manually including the VB script with the theme?

Answer 1

WP_Script always adds text/javascript to the <script> tag, and applies no filter before it returns, there is not much you can do there. You could try to create a subclass of WP_Scripts that has this functionality. If you change the global $wp_scripts to your new class, this might work.

Answer 2

Unfortunately script type is hardcoded in WP_Scripts class. If you need extensive queue management for your VBS scripts you will have to extend that class and use own wrapper functions for VB separately.
