Determining an IP address in JavaScript

[vellad]

How do you determine an IP address in JavaScript?

 

[jaredn]

I have no idea, I know you can do it in Java and with Jscript ASP. Might wanna try those.<br><br><A HREF="mailto:-jared@aauser.com">-jared@aauser.com</A>

What is the context, can you be more specific? What IP address and when do you wan't it? <br><br>-pete

 

[carpeliam]

do you mean in the sense of an environment variable? <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=

I would agree with imotic's question. Like in Perl you have environment variables, I am not sure about JavaScript.<br><br>And I know that any CGI scripting language can do it since it communicates with the server, but I am not sure about JS.<br><br>-Vic

It is possible with serverside javascript. There are some environmental variables you can access quite easily using ASP and jscript, one of them containing the IP of the user.<br><br><br><A HREF="mailto:jared@aauser.com">jared@aauser.com</A><br><br>
