nslookup in Javascript

[hiyatran]

I checked everyone on the web but it doesn't have javascript codes to convert a domain to an ip address but there are sites that does it for you.

How do I go about coding an nslookup using javascript.

Convert google.com to an IP address.

any comments or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
thank you

I'm fairly sure you will not be able to reliably do this cross-browser using client-side JavaScript alone.

Perhaps using an ActiveX control in IE you could run a program to give you the answer, and perhaps in XUL you could use some JS not normally available to front-end JavaScript.

I'd say your best bet is to do this server-side (e.g. PHP, ASP, etc) and make the answer available to the front-end.

Hope this helps,
