ASP, Javascript Frontpage 2000

R

Ryan Fleming

I apolagize if this is not the proper forum in which to post this
question. I have a website developed with frontpage 2000. I am
trying to create a very simple web page. One tbat either uses asp or
javascript, and will simply display the IP Address of the person
viewing the page. I have found a few free examples, but cannot seem
to get them to work on my web site.


In both cases I see remote_addr as a returned value and not my ip.
Any help in answering or directing me to the proper forum to ask this
question would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ryan

Code examples below: I simply pasted this text into the body of html
page.


asp script

<% Response.Write Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR") %>


javascript

<p><!-- ONE STEP TO INSTALL IP ADDRESS:

1. Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document -->

<!-- STEP ONE: Paste this code into the HEAD of your HTML document
-->

<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin
// http://www.kdcgrohl.com

// Depending on your server set-up,
// you may need to use the ".shtml"
// extension [instead of the "html"
// or "htm"] as the script uses Server
// Side Includes. To display in the
// title bar, exclude the
//"<title></title>" code from the page.

// This part gets the IP
var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->';

// This part is for an alert box
alert("Your IP address is "+ip);

// This part is for the status bar
window.defaultStatus = "Your IP address is "+ip;

// This part is for the title bar
document.write("<title>Your IP address is "+ip+"</title>");
// End -->
</script>

Hi Ryan,
The asp script you posted will work just fine - assuming your server
supports asp. Obviously yours doesn't. You can't get an IP address with
javascript - the second script you posted uses server side scripting (looks
like PHP to me) to grab the ip and javascript to display it.

Bottom line - you will need some server side script. What is available to
you? If you're not sure ask your host
