Detecting IP address and then redirecting them...

[WildWest]

I need to figure out how to detect a users IP address and depending on their IP address redirect them to site A or site B. I'm unable to use server-side scripting languages like ASP, PHP, and ColdFusion. I need to use JavaScript.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

AFAIK, you cannot do that client-side without a little configuration in your server (SSI, for example)

How about if I use this script...? But then how do I redirect them?

Again AFAIK, that script needs SSI in the server.

Anyway, if you rely on it, redirecting is the easy part

if (ip == "Whatever IP"){ 
var nUrl="Whatever URL to redirect"; 
window.location.href=nUrl;
}

Cheers,
Dian

even so -

many people (depending on the browser they use) can set up their browser so that it won't send information such as IP addresses.

In my opinion, find another way to do what you need to do. Maybe ask them where they need to go, and then store a cookie with that page.
