I think this is a simple fix but I can't work it out.

the above is a menu based on VBScript and all I want to do is add an small .gif to the top left hand side of the screen. Does anyone know how to do this?

thanks.

First up, I am a programmer, but I haven't used VBScript for a long time, so I may well be wrong.

I don't believe it is possible to change that icon. Inputbox has no way to specify an icon, it normally uses the icon of the application that is calling it, but in this case that would be the script host, which is not something we have control over.
You might be able to hack things so that a different icon is displayed, but it would be on a per machine basis and not related to the script in anyway. The sort of thing I am thinking is to locate the icon that is being displayed then change the file on disk so that it contains a different icon. Might be displayed in a few more places than you want if you do that though

out of curiosity what language do you program in?

Jay, instead of using the standard javascript prompt like you have above, how about using one of the AJAX frameworks and creating you own modal dialog box that you can completely customise?

I don't know exactly how you do it, just that it is possible. Look at Facebook, they do this all the time.

jquery plugin that can be used instead of alert boxes and styled with css etc.

I may be missing something here but isn't he trying to develop a window app type script not a web page?

In which case I think pipTheGeek is right - I don't believe its possible although I've not used VB script.

(I am a C/C++/C#/Javascript developer with experience in VB6).

Mostly I am using VB .NET writing (or maintaining) WinForm applications using an SQL Server database. The team also do some ASP.NET, some of our systems are Oracle or Ingres and we have also developed a BI solution based on MS SQL Analysis services with a Performance point / Sharepoint / SSRS front end.
I have also done Access development since version 2, VB 6, some Excel and some VBScript and some Javascript for the web work I have done.
