question REMOTE_ADDR

[Jason]

Hi,

The javascript in my page is not working, itstead of alerting me the ip
address, it alerts me with string "<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADD R"-->".

var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADD R"-->';
alert("Your IP address is "+ip);

How do I fix the problem?
Thanks.

Jason

Your JS is incorrect. Try here for an example of how to do what you
want:

http://javascript.internet.com/user-details/ip-address.html

As a tip for the future, if you want to do anything in JavaScript, go to
Google and put in something like:

javascript get IP address

That's exactly what I did to get the above. Then, when you have
something that is nearly working, come here and you will get very good
advice.

Cheers, Fred

Re: question REMOTE_ADDR

Thanks Fred,

I did the same google search and visited the site you talked about, but it's
just not working.
Thanks anyway.

Please do not top-post Jason,
I find it most confusing..

Did you try flogging it Jason?
It may just be lazy.

Or to put that another way, what the heck
is 'just not working' supposed to mean?

Did you get an error page? A blank
browser window with no further information?
A web-page with text that seemed unrelated?

I tried the page myself. It popped up an
alert when arriving at the page that read
'Your IP address is nnn.nn.nn.nn'
Where all the 'n's were digits.

Once I dismissed the alert, I saw the page itself,
which has a text area with a script in it.

Did you get those?

That's not a Javascript problem. That script relies upon your web
server being configured to replace the text inside the single-quotes
with the user's IP address.

Even when that "works", it doesn't provide useful information in
many cases, because dial-up users may have a different IP address
each time they connect, and many other users may be behind proxies
so that hundreds of machines will all report the same IP address.

Jason, there's some pointers here:

Nonsense. The client-side JS code is syntactically absolutely correct.
However, this solution also requires server-side includes which are
obviously not working properly.

And please trim your quotes to the absolute necessary.

I was wondering how this code worked. Thanks.
