Reply: (edit)I doubt that Javascript can get the IP address. You probably need something on the server side; ASP, JSP, Perl, CGI? There are web statistic packages that sit on your server that collect this stuff for you also. You might do a search for a free one.

Reply: (edit)There is a way to ge the IP address with JavaScript. Although, the server you run it on has to have Server-Side Includes (SSL) or something like that enabled. You have to name your page with the extension ".shtml". Then, insert [!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"--] (change [] to braces) into your page somewhere (say between two quotes so that you can store it as a string) and the server will parse the page when it is run and replace that string with the ip address of the user. However, even though you can spit out the ip address with javascript, I do not know of a way to send an email with a javascript. Maybe if you used a form you could do it, but you'll have to figure that out... You could send it to a perl or php script and use a mail function to mail it though.

Reply: (edit)Just so you know, collecting the IP address of every visitor will not work very well... Dial-up ISPs assign a new IP address to every user every time they connect, and some broadband ISPs do that too. That would mean I could visit your page, then disconnect from the Internet, then visit your page again, and it would show two different IP addresses. The most reliable way, as far as I know, to count unique visitors is by using cookies, even though they can be deleted by the user.

Reply: (edit)With cookies, anyone could go to the site, delete the cookie that pertains to that site, then refresh the page. What if the user limits the size of their temporary internet folder to 1MB? The cookies will be deleted frequently. I think that either way works, but server-side would probably work best because it is more available than SSL. It really depends on the features supported by the server that the site is running on.
