Smooth. This is horrible. ;\IP Address 192.168.1.1 belongs to Netherlands.
Code: Select all
var bl = navigation.browserLanguage;
var sl = navigator.systemLanguage;
var ul = navigator.userLanguage;Actually, if you have a good log-parser like webalizer running, you'll get that info anywayI did think of one use for this tool that could prove useful. If you gather stats on your site and log IP addresses -- then you would have a pseudo acurate way of finding out which country they are from. You could compare that to what language they are using etc... maybe find out more about your target market.
Yup. And it's also good for big sites and their media kits. It's nice to show your future advertisers where people are from along with the rest of the demographics.Slippy wrote:I did think of one use for this tool that could prove useful.

Me too, it's annoying to be forced to a mirror when you don't want to (makes me feel like I'm missing out on some secret thing).I prefer to make my own choice rather than be forced to go to whatever the site decides my IP means I should get - just because you're in a particular country doesn't mean you speak their national language.
