Need script to get IP and display relevant content

[dagza]

Hello. Hope I am in the right forum!

I know nothing about javascript but need a script that will:

get the computer IP address
IF IPaddress="217.x.x.x" then {
display an image}
else {
run a script I have
}

The problem is I have a nice animated slideshow on the VLE but it crashes when viewing over remote desktop.

Anyone?

Thanks

Darren

I'm not sure if you can do it client-side because javascript running in your browser doesn't have access to your IP address unless you set your security settings very low. I'd be a little wary of setting your browsers to trust the VLE because of all the user-uploaded content on there.

You can do it from the server end if you have ASP/PHP etc. - what's the VLE and what kind of server is it running on?

Thanks for the response.

That's a shame.

It is MS Sharepoint and I suspect it is running on IIS. It hasn't got anything additional installed such as PHP.

If it's on IIS, you could probably make an ASP page on that server containing something like:

<%@Language="JScript"%>
<%
strIP = ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR");
if (strIP == 'IP.OF.YOUR.TSERVER') {
Response.Redirect("tserveralternative.html");
}
else {
Response.Redirect("animatedslideshow.html");
}
%>

Then make your link on Sharepoint point at that asp page.

(code not tested, may contain nuts)

Great, thanks.
