Capture IP address

[Paul C]

Hi
Is it possible to capture the IP address as a hidden field using an html
form
Thanks

It is possible to capture the remote (client) IP address on the server,
using a server-side technology such as ASP or ASP.Net, for your form
handler.

Be aware that this will only be the IP address of the ISP, not of the user
(unless they have a static IP address - most people do not).

Thanks Kevin
I am using the front page form handler which doesn't work when you change
the html extension to an asp extension.

No, the frontpage form handler page must be *.htm or *.html - it is *not* an
ASP page.

Hi Murray,

I can understand why you simplified the explanation, but for people with
broadband connections, who don't have proxy servers, they will have an IP
address, albeit a temporary one. Still, bottom line is, there isn't much
point to it at all.

Well, of course not. If you give a text file a .exe extension, that doesn't
make it a program!

That was the real point of my oversimplification. I think.... 8)
