I have a framework written in VBScript. Inside some function in this framework, a parameter of the function is checked for Nothing in an If statement and then some actions are executed.

Code that uses the framework is written in JavaScript. So I need to pass Nothing to the function to perform some actions. In Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions, the following approach worked:

<script type="text/vbscript">
    Function Test(val)
        If (IsNull(val)) Then
            Test = "Null"
        ElseIf (IsObject(val)) Then
            If (val Is Nothing) Then
                Test = "Nothing"
            End If
        End If
    End Function

    Dim jsNothing
    Set jsNothing = Nothing
    msgBox(Test(jsNothing))
    msgBox(Test(Null))
</script>


<script type="text/javascript">
    alert(Test(jsNothing));
</script>

In Internet Explorer before version 9, the output will: Nothing, Null, Nothing.

In Internet Explorer 9: Nothing, Null, Null.

How can I pass Nothing from JavaScript to VBScript in Internet Explorer 9?

There is an example of a framework function. I can not change it, because it is widely used in application.

Function ExampleFunction(val)
    If (val Is Nothing) Then
        ExampleFunction = 1
    Else
        ExampleFunction = 0
    End If
End Function
