No different that VBScript, JScript can automate any COM object with


IDispatch interface. Search for Windows Scripting Host (or WSH).



However, this is subject to security rules when JavaScript is hosted in


Internet Explorer.



JavaScript (as defined in ECMA specification) cannot automate COM object.
