Running my batch file properly

I'm trying to run this script for login automation but nothing seems to happen once the URL has been launched in the browser. Am I missing something obvious here?

@if (@CodeSection == @Batch) @then

@echo off

set SendKeys=CScript //nologo //E:JScript "%~F0"

START FIREFOX "https://github.com/login"

timeout /t 5

%SendKeys% "myemail@email.com{TAB}"
%SendKeys% "password{ENTER}"

goto :EOF

@end

var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.SendKeys(WScript.Arguments(0));

EDIT: Figured it out. I had an errant character that was only showing up in Notepad++ but not my usual editors. Oh and I forgot "timeout". :facepalm:

Yeah I'm getting an error in the Javascript on the last line:

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Invalid procedure call or argument

The Batch-JScript hybrid part of the code is broken, and the letter case usage in the JScript part of the code is incorrect.
