Question: what kind of task are operated by internet explorer

title: Internet Explorer
text: Internet Explorer does not include any native scripting functionality . Rather , MSHTML. dll exposes an API that permits a programmer to develop a scripting environment to be plugged - in and to access the DOM tree . Internet Explorer 8 includes the bindings for the Active Scripting engine , which is a part of Microsoft Windows and allows any language implemented as an Active Scripting module to be used for client - side scripting . By default , only the JScript and VBScript modules are provided ; third party implementations like ScreamingMonkey ( for ECMAScript 4 support ) can also be used . Microsoft also makes available the Microsoft Silverlight runtime ( not supported in Windows RT ) that allows CLI languages , including DLR - based dynamic languages like IronPython and IronRuby , to be used for client - side scripting .
