Hi all,

In a web application, is there a way to detect the locale of the user (for
example, by sniffing some info off the navigator) and using that locale to
display the information on the site to the user?

Any information regarding how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

Eric.
 
There must be a way, because the tracking service I use gives city and state info, but not sure how
they are doing it.

I suspect they are using Javascript to grab the Hostname, and then, somehow, they break that down
into a geographic location. By looking at the Hostname, sometimes it is fairly obvious where they
are from, but with others, it is very cryptic.
