Perhaps you could explain what you mean by "web automation"?

Hi
By web automation I mean automating the clicks and inputs that we provide to web page.
I heard that using VB script we can perform such things but its limited IE objects.
So just wanted to know if we can do this with JavaScript
Thanks

No. JavaScript is designed to run within a page and is limited in what it can do. You wouldn't want a webpage to go to other pages without your permission!
Take a look at a tool like Selenium which does do what you want.
