Hi,

Is there a way in JavaScript to get someone's email address or IP address?

i don't think so, but I know it is possible to get their IP address with asp by using Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST") or something like that
 
Yo Playa,

Ya you can do it (get the email). My friend did it once to catch someone messing with his email and he caught 'em. The requirement that you'll need to do this is have an ftp server under your administration.

Basically, whenever anyone does an anonymous ftp, the email that you have configured in your browser is sent as the password. The rest is up to you...

peace,

You should be aware that if a person is using a proxy server, the IP address you get will be the ip address of the proxy server, not the ip address of the users machine.
 

I did it in ASP with ray's example: Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST")

It returns a String containing the user's IP address. I need the user's IP address to use it in ASP and the best thing is that ASP itself has a method for retrieving the IP address...Now I am not sure which IP address it returns but it does return an IP number :)) When I tested it localy while being offline this is what the method returned:
127.0.0.1 which is the default IP address. I will test it online as soon as my web page gets online...


Thanks,

Is there a way to get their email address from within HTML without them knowing?

Perhaps a hidden form that gets the autofill in form and sends that email to a text file?

Please advise.
 
yea really why do you want to &quot;secretly&quot; get their ip addresse. [sig]<p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.com>kb244@kb244.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in : C++(both VC++ and Borland),VB1(dos) thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, HTML, Visual InterDev 6(ASP(WebProgramming/Vbscript)<br>

I'd like to know also. If you just ask them, they should give it up. Unless you are planning to spam them.
Let me know what site you plan to use this on so I'm not around it...;{>
